INTRODUCTION. 



More tlian fifty years ago I began to gather such information and 
scraps of family historj- as I could obtain from my father, mother, and 
aunts. As the years went on, I added from time to time, such items of 
interest as I could secure, with such obituary notices and newspaper 
paragraphs as came into my possession. In 1883, I first entertained 
seriously tlie idea of a printed book, and accordingly issued hundreds 
of the following circular: "In order to make as full and correct a 
Genealogical Record as possible of the Bowlers in America, will you 
kindly fill out on this paper, 

1st. Any record you may have of your ancestors. 

2d. Your own family record— being particular to give full names 
and dates, also marriage, if any, and name of family married into, with 
P. 0. address of your married children. 

3d. The address of any yon know of the name, not of your family. 

An early reply will veiy much oblige 

Yours very truly, 

N. P. BOWLEB. 

An avalanche of letters followed this, and the correspondence 
growing out of it occupied much of the leisure of a busy 
life for several years, when pressure of more important mat- 
ters crowded genealogy to the wall, where it remained until less 
than two years ago, when, having retired from active business, I could 
give the matter adequate attention. During 1904 hundreds of letters 
were written, and questions asked, to bring the record up to date, witK 
most gratifying results, and unexjiected manifestation of interest. It 
would be a ]ileasure to make acknowledgment here, individually, to 
all who have been especially helpful, but such a list would be almost a 
second index, and must, perforce, be omitted. I must, however, render 
grateful thanks to Mr. Lloyd B. Iloppin for his generous correspond- 
ence, years ago, and for copious extracts from his "Register," spoken 
of elsewhere in this book, and also to Mr. George Parquhar Jones, whose 



"Record of the Jones Family" has been an inspiration, in its whole- 
someness, its purity, its sweet Christian hope and faith, interwoven 
even with bald "vital statistics." 

My self-imposed task is ended. It has been a labor of love, fraught 
with many beautiful experiences, and has given birth to some valued 
friendships, and brought to light some close relationships, hitherto im- 
dreamed of. I ti'ust that the record may be of value to many who bear 
the name of Bowler, or who are descended from those who have borne it. 

"Others, I doubt not, if not we, 
The issue of our toils shall see ; 
And (they forgotten and unknown) 
Young children gather as their own 
The harvest that the dead had sown." 

Affectionately yours, 

N. P. B.

THE BOWLER COAT-OF-ARMS. 

The Coat-of-Arms (1) which the emigrant, Charles Bowler, brought 
from England, and which is described in "Burke's Heraldry," is un- 
doubtedly the one which is the right by inheritance, of this brcmch of 
the family. 

It is to be regretted that it has been impossible, so far, to learn 
the significance of its symbols, as applied to its original wearer, but we 
know that the two "bends" represent a Knightly scarf, and the helmet 
is a Squire's helmet. Why the two eagles rest upon the shield in such 
an unusual way, we cannot say, but as it was so used by our ancestors 
in England, at a period when Arms were bestowed, not appropriated 
as they are today in America, we have no right to question its accuracy. 

Charles Bowler brought no motto with him, therefore none is pre- 
sented in this book, but it is, I believe, i)erraissible to adopt a motto, if 
bj^ careful study one is found which is significant of the character of 
the warrior upon whom the Arms were originally bestowed. 

The other, (2) may, possibly, in a way, belong to all Bowlers, since 
it is one of the very earliest Arms, bestowed upon the presumptive an- 
cestor of all who bear the name. The manner of its presentation to 
the American branch, is interesting. 

In 1858, Col. George Bowler of Boston went to Turkey in Asia in 
search of health, and on his way home, stopping in London, visited the 
British Museum, where he claimed to find records which trace the 
family back to Godfrey de Bouillon, the Crusader, King of Jenisalem, 
A. D. 1099. 

History records that Godfrey is lineally descended from Charle- 
magne the Great, through the female lines, and there we are content 
to let the matter rest. The Coat-of-Arms which was bestowed upon 
Godfrey de Bouillon is identical with that accredited to the Bowler 
family, in "Burke's Heraldry," which is, as far as it goes, proof of Col. 
Bowler's claims. The validity of his statements is not questioned, but 
in a record such as this, history and tradition must not be confounded, 
however much tradition may be based on facts. 

Col. Bowler, who was an F. & A. M. of the Thirty Second Degree, 
was so deeply impressed with the result of his researches, that upon 



his return to Massachusetts he founded the "(Jodfrey de Bouillon Com- 
mandeiy," K. T., in Fall Kiver. 

The name Bouillon hceauie changed, as family names frequently 
do, the Frencli BDiiilloii becoming the German Boehler, and later, the 
English and Irish Howler. 

Following is the explanation of the Arms: The crosses indicate 
service in the Crusades. The squares, or "Fesse cheque," represent the 
provinces over which Godfrey de Bouillon was Suzerain. The rings 
signify throe gifts from William Kufus, (William IT. of England,) in 
recognition of various distinguished sei-vices. 

The Crest was adopted probably two centuries later, by some Bowler 
whose favorite pastime was the boar hunt, so the tradition goes. 

The golden discs are Byzantine coins, placed there by a commercial 
Bowler, to dignify some particularly successful enterprise in the Orient. 

The motto, which is the Barber family motto, was adopted by a 
Bowler who was also descended from tlie Barbers, and who considered 
the sentiment in harmony with the Crusader's Anns. 

If the Escutcheon should ever be added to it, it is entitled to a 
King's helmet and mantlings.

Charles Bowler lived in London until about 1743, and was a person 
of some note. His Coat-of-Arms, as he had it painted for his son when 
he came to vVmerica, and also a miniature on ivory of himself, are still 
in possession of his descendants. (1904, Miss Elizabeth Wells Hoppin, 
of Providence.) 

Upon his arrival in America, in 1740, he took up his residence in 
Boston, where he purchased, near the "Common," and on Beacon Hill, 
parcels of land, which he held until 1753-54, when he was appointed 
by His Majesty, George II., Collector of Revenues for the Port of New- 
port, at that time equal in importance with New York or Philadelphia, 
and removed his residence to that city, selling most of his property 
in Boston and purcliasing a farm of seventy acres in Portsmouth, which 
was afterward the country place of his son, Metcalf, acknowledged to 
be the most beautiful estate in Rhode Island. 

Tradition says that he took his young son Charles to England to 
be educated, leaving him there, and dying, intestate, before his son's 
return. On being appointed Administrator, Metcalf, after the English 
fashion, claimed the entire estate, and the boy of fourteen was left in 
England, penniless.

Metealf Bowler received his early education in England. About 
1743 he came with his father to this country, finally locating in Newport, 
where he was a successful merchant until the close of the Revolutionary 
War. His residence for a part of the time at least, was at Portsmouth, 
which town he represented for many years in the General Assembly. 
Nineteen years he was Speaker of the House, six years one of the 
Judges of the Superior Court, and at last Chief Justice. In 1765 he 
was sent to the Congress being held in New York, with a Commission 
relative to the Stamp Act. In 1766 he was appointed to present a mes- 
sage of thanks to the King, foi' the repeal of the Stamp Act. The fol- 
lowing is taken from an old Newport paper: "Mar. 18, 1767. The an- 
niversary of the repeal of the Stamp Act was commemorated by the 
friends of liberty in Newport. Flags were displayed from Fort George, 
the battery at the Point and from the shipping in the harbor. A royal 
salute was fired from the battery, and the bells rung. In the evening 
Hon. Metealf Bowler, at his house corner of Clarke and Mary Streets, 
gave an elegant entertainment to the true friends of liberty." 

The Rev. Edward Peterson's History of R. I., published in 1853, 
has this notice of Newport in 1766: "Judge Metealf Bowler, like most 
of the wealthy merchants of that period, had a town and a country res- 
idence. The former is now the Vernon mansion, on the comer of Clarke

and Mary Streets, and is certainly a beautiful specimen of architec- 
ture. The latter is flic farm, now occupied hy and l)eIon.i;:ing to the heirs 
of Isaac Chase, in J'oitsmouth, whicli tlioii cont;uned an c'le,a:ant garden, 
filled with every desciiption of fruit and fiowers, with artificial ponds 
and fountains. At present it is nothing more than an ordinaiy farm." 
I have often heard my father, ((icorge frish Bowler) tell of this beau- 
tiful place, and how Metcalf prided himself on his well cultivated 
garden. Jle had a taste for farming, and devoted much time to the 
scientific pursuit of it. In this connection, the first crop of the renowned 
"Rhode Island Greening" can be traced to his orchard. Ho i)ublishod a 
work entitled "A Treatise on Agriculture and Practical Husbandry." 
In this book he si^eaks of it to the "Candid Reader" as the production 
of some leisure hours. 

Tn 1902. this Portsmouth ])lace was sold by Constant Chase, after 
being in his family for ninety eight years, to Barclay Hazard. The 
old house is full of historical interest:— there Washington and La- 
Fayette were guests, and tlie fame of its hospitality was widesi)read. 

A review of the Rev. Edwin Mai'tin Stone's book, "Our French 
Allies in the Revolution," has this to say: "There are few Rhode 
Island families, who have been faithful to the claims of ancestry, who 
have not ]>reserved some scrap of romantic story, treasured in memory, 
as a piece of rare old lace, or an antique jewel is laid away in the 
keeping of some heirloom cabinet. Such relics, whether of the material 
or mental hoard, seem to shorten the century which separates us from 
the era when Newport was what Washington now is, — the cosmopolitan 
city of America. Bashy Bowler, a beautiful girl, otherwise Miss Bath- 
sheba Bowler, was the daughter of the Hon. Metcalf Bowler. Father 
and daughter are embalmed in the pages of Mr. Stone, who describes 
the dinner given by Mr. Bowler to Gen. Washington and other noted 
guests, at his summer residence in Portsnioutb. Here our great-aunt 
used to visit her friend, tlic beautiful Bathsheba, the admired of the 
Chevalier de Silly, and of other French officers, one of whom. Marquis 
Langfroi de Lisle, married her and took her to his chateau, near Gren- 
oble, France. Her married life was haiipy, if we may .judge from the 
testimony of her letters to her fi'iends at home, and Dr. Solomon 
Drowne, of Providence, wlio visited Paris in 17S5, Tuet her there, enjoy- 
ing the society of the capitol and receiving its admiration, so that Aunt 
Betsey's saying concerning her friend, that "she would grace a court" 
was amply fulfilled. An ivory miniature of Bathsheba, by Malbone, 



14 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

whioh shows her to be a graceful swan-like beauty, is in possession of 
her grand-niece, Mrs. Knight, of Brooklyn." 

(A copy of tliis miniature, together with the one appearing on the 
same page, I have been fortunate enough to obtain, through the courtesy 
of Mi-s. Leeds, granddaughter of Mrs. Knight. There seems to be some 
doubt as to whether the subject of the other was her father or her hus- 
band, but as the face bears no resemblance to the Bowler type, and has a 
distinctly French cast, it may be presumed that it is a miniature of the 
Marquis de Lisle. N. P. B.) 

The following interesting article is taken from the "History of 
the Narragansett Church," and although it may seem in a measure, a 
repetition of what has already been said, still, having been written by 
one who knew his subject long and intimately, it is deemed of sufficient 
consequence to be included in this record. 

"The Hon. Metcalf Bowler was a native of England, but when a 
young man, arrived in this country, and settled in Newport, which was 
then a flourishing town. He commenced his operations there as a mer- 
chant, and was largely concerned in navigation, in which he was emi- 
nently successful. During the war with France and Spain, he was princi- 
pal owner of a privateer commanded by Wm. Dennis, which brought 
in a number of rich prizes, which greatly added to the property of Mr. 
Bowler. (History says he owned the privateer "Defiance," commanded 
by Nicholas Phillips, one of the most remarkable vessels of which there 
is any account. Built in 1740, of only 45 tons burthen, she made for 
her several owners, millions of dollars. Metcalf Bowler owned her in 
1762. N. P. B.) His talents and enterprises brought him into public 
life as an eminent statesman,— he represented the town of Newport, 
and afterward the town of Portsmouth, in the General Assembly, of 
which he was Speaker for many years. He had his town and country 
residence— he erected the elegant house in Newport at the comer of 
that which was then called the New Lane and Clarke St., and is now the 
Vernon estate. To the usual occupation of his farm in Portsmouth, 
he added the most splendid garden on the island; his taste for agricul- 
ture exceeded that of any other gentleman of his day. Wliile in pos- 
session of his large property in Newport, there were but two coaches 
in the colony, one of which was that of Abraham Redwood, who was 
supposed to be the richest man in Newport, and the other was that of 
Mr. Bowler, in which he rode, with elegant horses. During the French 
war a convention of delegates from the northern colonies was held in

THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 15 

Albany, to agree on the nunilier of ti'oops each colony sliould furnish 
on the Canada frontier. In the first session Gov. Tlojikins appeared 
for K. 1. and in the second, Mr. Bowler and Henry Ward, brother of 
Gov. Ward. Mr. Howler tra\('ll('(l in liis coach, and Mr. Ward on 
liorse))ack, and many years ai'terwaid I hoard Mr. AVard relate the cir- 
cumstance, that the expense of Mr. Bowler's journey was vastly more 
than his, though both were paid by the government. The decline of 
business in Newport, together with his style of living and the occurrence 
of the war of the Revolution, greatly impaired the property of Mr. 
Bowler, thougli he continued to be Speaker of the House and Judge of 
the Superior Court, both these offices being not then deemed incom- 
patible in the same person. From the causes mentioned above, he had 
but little proi)ei'ty left when he removed to Providence, and opened 
a shop of dry-goods, without any apparent dejiression of mind; he 
managed his little business pleasantly, practising i^rudent economy. 

He aftenvards opened a respectable boarding Jiouse, in which he 
performed the duties of landlord as well as if he had never known a 
higher elevation. At last, advanced in life, his probation was ended. 
At this time there was no resident minister at St. John's Church, of 
which Mr. Bowler had been one of the Wardens. The Rev. Mr. Smitli, 
of Narragansett, preached his funeral sermon. The clergyman being a 
stranger, who knew nothing of the life and character of the deceased, 
avoided any of the usual obsei'vations on the subject, but to the few 
of us present, who knew the Judge in the days of his riches and splendor, 
it was a solemn scene, bringing deep im])ressions on the progress as well 
as on the end of human life, and the great purposes of our being, when 
the rich and the poor lie down together. 

Before the war of the Revolution, and during the residence of 
Judge Bowler in Newport, the principal families there were highly 
aristocratic in their manner; they professed little sympathy for their 
fellow citizens. The families of Brenton, Malbone, Wanton, Simon 
Pease, Charles Handy, the Bannisters, Preebodys and others were of 
this caste, but the politeness and free intercourse of Judge Bowler sus- 
tained his popularity, and insured him the good will of all ; and while he 
resided in Providence ho was treated with the highest respect, notwith- 
standing the loss of his large property."

ITEMS FROM OLD RECORDS. 

June 20, 1768. Metcalf Bowler appointed Administrator of the 
estate of Charles Bowlei-, Esq. of Portsmouth, who died intestate, May 
30, 1768. Inventory, £.3350, 5s. 

Sept. 6, 1786. Metealf Bowler and wife Anne of Portsmouth, sold 
for $3,000 to Charles Handy of Newport, merchant, a dwelling house 
and farm in Portsmouth. (Presumably the same seventy acres that 
Charles Bowler had bought in 1753 for £6000. Perhaps the $3,000 was 
in silver dollars. Currency was inflated in 1750. Thus on p. 165 of 
Austin's Gen. Die. R. I. Rowland Robinson's inventory showed £2166, 
while in 1751 his son William's inventory of about the same articles 
in amount, was valued at £21,573,— ten times inflated.) 

1789. Metcalf Bowler, Esq., of Providence, sold land on Pleasant 
St., Boston. Presumably part of same land his father had owned.

"WHien quite a young boy, Charles Bowler was taken by his father 
to England, to receive his education, with which great pains were taken, 
as was fitting for the son of one who was in the Colonies with a Com- 
mission from the Crown, and for the younger brother of so distinguished 
a personage as Metcalf Bowler, but when he was only fourteen, his 
father died, intestate, leaving him, alone in England, a penniless 
"younger son." He seems to have been born with a wild, free spirit, 
a spirit of adventure, which illy brooked the restraints of convention- 
alism, and tradition is rich with tales of his exploits. He, with another 
boy, was enticed aboard a trading vessel, lying in the harbor of Liver- 
pool. While they were below, the vessel set sail, and when they came

on deck they were out at sea. They were bound for Canada with a cargo 
of horses, which they landed at Quebec, and in some clever way, not 
explained, Charles and his friend captured two of the best horses, and 
made off with them, eventually finding their way to Newport. 

This is the first we hear of his connection with the horse, a phase 
of experience in which he figured most prominently throughout his 
life. His extraordinary love for and control over horses, he has left 
as a legacy to his children, "even unto the third and fourth generation." 

Wlien the Colonies declared wai-, he joined the army, and when the 
Britsh took possession of Newjiort, he was taken prisoner. The 
British Gen. Prescott, having had his attention called to Charles Bow- 
ler's wide reputation as an expert horseman, gave him the oversight 
of his own horses. One day, when he had official guests from New York, 
he wished to show them a fine horse which he had lately procured, and 
Bowler was ordered to put on the best trappings in the stable, and 
show the merits of the newly acquired steed. In riding around the 
General and his party, he kept increasing the circle until he reached 
a point toward Fall Eiver, when he put spurs to the horse, and crossing 
on the ice to mainland, reached his friends in safety. He had no 
trouble in passing the British soldiers, as all knew him to be General 
Prescott 's servant. This horse lived many years, and when he died, 
had a public funeral, and the spot where he was buried was marked and 
known long afterward. 

Another "horse story" is told of him in his later years, in Ver- 
mont. In his stable was an ugly stallion, who broke out of his stall, 
one day, and no one dared to enter the stable. They sent for him, and 
when he entered the animal made for him, but he struck him a smart 
blow on the temple with a whi]) handle, and slijiping a bridle over his 
head, led him into his stall as quiet as a lamb. 

Charles Bowler married the daughter of Col. George Ii'ish, a man 
of much prominence in Colonial and Revolutionary times in R. I., mem- 
ber from Middletown of the General Assembly held for R. I. and 
Providence Plantations, and Col. of a Newport Reg. during the Rev- 
olution. He had great wealth for those days; his home was the finest 
in Middletown, he owned the Brig "Friendship," which sailed from 
Newport in the West Indies trade, and when the Colonies declared 
their independence, he loaned the new government of the United States 
£3,257. 

About 1792 or '93, Charles went to sea, and for nearly one hun-

dred years his K. I. family and descendants supposed his vessel was 
lost, since they never heard of it nor of him again, but he was cast 
ashore near the Banks, somewhere, and worked his way as far south as 
Ciuilford, Vt., presumably five or six years after sailing from Newport, 
for in 1798 he married Mary (Yaw) Gallup, a widow, of Guilford. In 
the summer 1802 he started on horse-back, to visit his Newport family, 
but there is no record nor tradition that he ever made himself known, 
if he reached tliere, and the sup]iosition is, that finding upon his arrival, 
his first wife, Rebecca, still living, and married again, believing him 
dead, he went away, making no sign. On his way back to Vermont, 
when nearing Guilford, he stopped at a public house to dine, and while 
waiting at the table for his dinner to be sel•^^ed, he dropped dead of 
apoplexy, and was taken home to be buried on the day that his youngest 
child was born. Thus passed a strange, untamed soul, only the out- 
lines of whose career can be touched upon, within the limits of such a 
record as this. 

IRISH, OF IREYS, DORSETSHIRE CO. ENG. 

Arms.— Sable; a Cross, argent, between twelve billets, or. 

Crest.— An oak tree, eradicated, charged with a dragon passant, 
pierced through the breast with a sword proper. (Natural colors.) 

Motto.— Semper constans et fidelis. 

The family of Irish was seated at Ireys before the Norman Con- 
quest. The fii'st time the name aiijiears in "Doom's Day Book" is in 
the reign of Henry I., when Richard de Ireys is mentioned as a witness 
to several grants of land in Dorsetshire. 

Adam de Ireys was one of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem 
who accom])anied Godfrey de Bouillon in the First Crusade. He slew a 
Saracen leader of high rank, by severing his head from his body at one 
blow, in commemoration of which, the family bears in its Coat-of-Arms 
St. George's Cross, and the significance of its Crest may easily be seen.

London, July 25, 1716. 
My Dear Children : 

I received your letter sent by Capt. Holmes, dated the 22d of May 
last, for which T return you my hearty thanks, and am glad to hear of 
your good health, but very sorry for your loss and misfortunes, for 
Coz'n Phillips told me you had had several. You must be more careful 
of yourselves for the future. I hope these will find you in good health, 
as blessed be God for it, they leave me, but your poor mother is very 
weak, and truly weaker and weaker, but her heart holds pretty good yet, 
and can eat her victuals. I hope Cozen Phillips is got safe home before 
this time, to whom I pray you give our kind love, and to all the family,— 
and I hojie he will make so good a trip of it, that we shall see him again 
in a little time, and also to see you when your convenience will permit, 
once before we die, and your good wife, if it might be, for Cozen Phillips 
gives her an extraordinary Encomium, which I am mighty proud to 
hear of, for your sake, for I hope you will deserve not less. 

I had a letter brought from your sister, the last week, by one who 
came from her two months since, and she and her spouse are very well, 
and he proves an extraordinary husband to her, and she lives a lady's 
life, a companion with a Consul's wife when her husband is abroad, but 
the messenger told me that when she came away, that he took her witli 
him a short voyage. She had no children before she went. 

John and his family are well. 

Madam Throcmorton and I are at law at present, which puts me to 
some vexation and charges till we can get out of it. 

I believe if you will send some good rum at the price you said, it 
will pay well enough. I suppose you will agree for the passage, it can 
not come to much,— and the custom I know,— 3s. per gal.,— it is worth 
8 here in the winter time,— so my dear I leave it to you. 

I sent a small token (a Brass Pot and a Pewter Dish) by Cozen 
Phillips I have something more for you hereafter, but for tlie houses 
there can nothing be done without your presence here, which is all, with

kind love to you and your good wife, and all friends and for you and 
yours, shall be the daily prayer of your loving father and inother, 

whilst I am 
These for Mr. Samuel Ijee. Samuel Lee. 

Shipwright at Swansey. 
Near Rhode Island in New England. 

Samuel Lee (2nd) built himself a house at the head of a river which 
lie called Lee's River, and which has ever since been known by that 
name. 

Shoi-tly after he came to this country, he received from his father a 
large Bible, which is believed to be now in possession of the Truesdell 
family of New York City. 

The following is taken from the Providence "Gazette," Saturday, 
Nov. 17, 1804: Died— Mrs. Abigail l^ee, in the 84th year of her age. 
For more than 60 years she had been a professor of the Christian re- 
ligion. Her devotion in the circle of Christian, duties was unifonn and 
exemplary, and united with an amiable natural disjtosition. By her life 
she manifested that the religion of the heaii; breathes love to God and 
good will to men, while it keei5S in prospect a blessed immortality be- 
yond the grave. Although hev children feel the loss of her pious ex- 
ample and fervent prayers for their ])resent and future hajipiness, still, 
to believe she sleeps in Jesus, whom God will bring with him, must be 
a source of the greatest consolation. 

"Oh mourner, while thou view'st the Christian bier— 

And pourest forth the unavailing tear. 
Calm resignation gently whispers— peace, 

Points to the heavens and bids thy sorrows cease."

George Irish Bowler went at an early age to live with his maternal 
uncle, George Irish, who, thougli holding his residence in Newport, 
carried on a provision and grain trade in Georgetown, Va. George 
Washington dealt largely with Mr. Irish, giving young Bowler a good 
op])ortunity to see and admire the great man, of whom he often spoKe in 
after years. Directly after his marriage, he bought a farm in Ho]ikin- 
ton. He remained there about eight years, when he removed to Plain- 
field, Conn., going from there, in the spring of 1S14, to Carlisle, N. Y. 
He remained on this farm for nearly twenty year.s, going in 18.3.3 to Au- 
burn, Geauga Co., 0. At fifty years of age he began life anew, as it 
were, purchasing a tract of one hundred and twenty acres of unbroken 
forest, on which not a tree had been cut, not even a trail marked by 
blazed trees to show where the road was to be. But by the blessing of 
God, he was spared to clear off this dense forest on as many acres as he 
wished. He planted a]iple-.seeds, and ate for many years the fruit, on 
the trees grown from these seeds. He lived fhirty-five years to see the 
wilderness blossom as the rose, and one generation ])ass away. 

He possessed an iron constitution, a determined will, and indom- 
itable ]ireseverance. He was a rigid disci] dinarian, and not one of his 
children ever presumed to argue the jioint when a command was given. 
He became a member of the "Christian Church of Believers" in 1820, 
and continued an exemplary member to the close of his life. 



30 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

Susan (Barber) Bowler had a form of grace and beauty, to which 
was added a clear complexion, mild brown eyes and dark hair. She 
was a woman of remarkably sweet tem])er, and unselfish nature, having 
the rare faculty of governing with kindness and love. Her life was 
spent in promoting the wishes, interest, and happiness of her husband 
and children, twelve of whom mourned her loss, when she died, at the 
age of forty-nine. Her dust rejjoses in the village Cemetery at Sloans- 
ville, N. Y., where also rest thi-ee of her children,— Susan, Polly and 
Joseph. 

Ijucy Cheesebovough Barber, second wife of George Irish Bowler^ 
lived during her girlhood, with her maternal uncle, Otis Pendleton, in 
Stonington, Conn. She told the story, that in 1812, when that place 
was attacked by the British fleet, their only fatal shots killed one hog 
and one goose. In later years she went to Carlisle, N. Y., and made her 
home with her sister, Mrs. Bowler. She removed with the family to 
Ohio, entering heartily and cheerfully into all the labors and priva- 
tions incident to a new country, making a j^leasant home for her family, 
her friends and strangers. George Irish and Lucy (Barber) Bowler are 
buried in Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, in William Bowler's lot.

Brian Pendleton, b. 1599, d. 1681, in Portsmouth, N. H., was elected 
Deputy President of the Province of Maine, to act as President in the 
absence of Pres. Danforth. This title is equivalent to that of Dep. Gov., 
which office is duly established and provided for by the Georges Char- 
ter, which did not lapse with the annexation of the Maine Colony with 
that of Mass. Bay. Therefore the Pres. and Dep. Pres. of Maine, after 
the annexation, are true Gov. and Dep. Gov., and all descendants of 
Brian Pendleton arc eligible to the Order of Colonial Governors. His

1770, and are the ancestors of all the Maine Pendletons. All of their

Under the arbitrary and desi)oti(' rule of Sir Edmund Andros, when 
the various Colonial Charters wore declared void, and their govern- 
ment dissolved by his absolute authority, even the prol)ate records were 
required to be kept at the Cai)ital of his dominion. In the volumes of 
the doings of the Probate Court from 1686-8, may be found many wills 
and recoids of settlement of estates of Rhode Islanders, among them

The Peabody burial ground is situated on part of the old Peabody 
farm in a lot planted with vegetables, near the southern wall, but not 
close to it. It is about 60x40 ft., unfenced. It is near the road, to the' 
east and a little to the north of, and opposite, the old Congdon house, on 
Thii"d Beach Road, Middletown, the farm now (1904) owned by Edward 
E., s. of John R. and Dorcas Bly (Peabody) Peckham, a direct descend- 
ant of the emigrant, John Peabody. There are many stones so old and 
wrecked that the inscriptions can not be deciphered. The oldest one at 
all legible, is this : 

Here lyeth ye body of 

Jane ye wife of John Sisson 

who departed this life in 

ye 23rd year of her age. 

May ye first 1714. 

The last interment was that of Dorcas Peabody, widow of Joseph 
Southwick, who died Dec. 29, 1850, in the 81st year of her age. Her 
first husband, Mr. William Bly, is also buried there. She was sister to 
Caleb, and aunt to William and Thomas. She was a character in the 
family, and was known to all the connections as "Aunt Southwick." 
Her linen weaving and needle-work were marvellous, some specimens, 
unusually fine in texture and workmanship, being now in possession of 
her brother's descendants.

settled in Auburn. He sold his farm in 1836, and moved to Chardon, 
on a farm about one half mile north of the village. He held many town-

took up land in the "Holland Purchase," in Western New York. They 
settled on a farm near Springville, Erie Co., N. Y., where Polly met 
and married Benjamin Fay. About the year 1831, they rigged up an

THE FOOTE COAT-OF-ARMS. 

Nathaniel Foote was a descendant of James Foote, to whom was 
given a Coat-of-Arms by King James, which is described as follows: "A 
shield divided by a chevron, with quarterings of clover leaves;" Crest, 
an oak tree; Motto, "Loyalty and Truth." The facts connected with 
the bestowal are given in these words: "In a war between the English 
and the Scots, King James was in imminent danger of being destroyed, 
when James Foote, a trusty officer, escorted the King to a certain wood 
where was a large oak tree, the trunk whereof was hollow, and there 
concealed him, unknown to any one, until he obtained a safe retreat."

TAKEN FROM THE "HOPPIN REGISTER." 

Henry Hoppin was the eighth child and youngest son of Col. Ben- 
.jamin Hoppin. At the age of ten he attended a school which was con- 
ducted by Rev. James Wilson, and it was at this school that he first be- 
came acquainted with a little girl of about the same age, who in after 
years became his wife. At the age of fifteen he united with the Benef- 
icent Congregational Church. In 1804 he entered his father's store as 
a clerk, the firm at that time being Benjamin Hoiipin & Son, Auctioneers, 
and remained in their employ until he went to Boston, under engagement 
with Messrs. Dwight & Co., but by an accident to himself was prevented 
from taking the position. It seems, as he entered the door of that firm's 
store, his foot slipped into a traji-door, and injured his leg so severely 
that he had to be taken home by his father, who w\as sent for. On his 
recovery, he returned to his father's store. 

At this time he displayed a remarkable talent for sketching with 
l)encil and pen, the more remarkable on account of being self-taught. 
Many of his sketches, which are Scriptural, are still preserved in the 
family. 

On May 26, 1809, he started on a voyage to Canton, in the ship 
"Baltic," Capt. Jonathan Aborn, to enter the employ of Gen. Edward 



46 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

Carrington, his future brother-in-law, who was then a merchant in Can- 
ton, but on arriving there, he found that Gen. Carrington had decided to 
return home, tlierefore after staying a sliort time, Henry sailed, June 6, 
1810, in the ship "Vancouver," Capt. Whitmore. On both voyages he 
kept a log of each day's sailing, which books were in possession of Mr. 
Lloyd B. Hoppin until his death. 

A curious incident was connected with this voyage to Canton:— be- 
fore leaving, a promise was made to him by a young woman (afterward 
his wife) to send him the first rose of a bush which was a favorite of 
hers. The rose was sent, and the writer, (L. B. H., 1860) has seen the 
veritable letter, and also the rose, which, above fifty years ago, went on 
a voyage to China, and is now in excellent preservation. About 1812, 
he entered into business with his step-brother, Hercules Whitney, a son 
of his father's second wife, and started the concern, which is at the 
present day the most extensive manufactory of the kind in the country, 
and is known as the "Providence Dyeing, Bleaching and Calendering 
Company." 

On the morning of the 15th of Feb. 1835, he departed this life, aged 
45 years. The following lines were written by his wife, at the age of 78 : 
"Departed friend, why should we mourn 

Or tread dark melancholy's planes? 
Why should we dew with tears the urn 
That now preserves thy dear remains ? ' ' 

Her son-in-law, George F. Jones, in his book, "Record of the Jones 
Family," thus eulogizes Amy (Bowler) Hoppin : "After her husband's 
death Mrs. Hoppin removed to Philadelphia, and subsequently, after her 
children had married, resided with her eldest daughter, Mrs. Knight, 
in Brooklyn, where she lived to the good old age of eighty-two years, 
when, in peace with all the world, she gave up her life to God who gave 
it, and entered into eternal rest with the hope of everlasting life. 

"It is difficult to speak of this old lady in any but the most exalted 
terms, for her character was remarkable for its unaffected simplicity, 
purity and great loving kindness. With an intimate knowledge of her, 
and affectionate intercourse with her, the writer can truly say that he 
has seldom known any one who more completely filled all the duties in-

;i record of ri well spent life, hers was an example that the young and the 
old might i)rofitahly imitate and follow, ller end was peaceful and her

By the marriage of Henry Hoppin and Amy Bowler, were united the 
lineal descendants of two distinguished men among the early Colonists, 
whose names are i)rominent in the history of New England, viz: on her 
side, Gov. William Bradford, of Plymouth, who came over in the "May- 
flower," and on his, Edward Kawson, Secretary of the Colony of Massa- 
chusetts.

Lloyd Hoppin gives the following Ancestry of Anne Rawson, which 
I am inclined to think is correct, though the other is from a sup}iosedly 
authentic record, published by E. B. Craiie, in 1875, but it gives Thomas 
Rawson's birth as May 2, 1733, and his marriage as abt. 1737. Probably 
the birth date is incorrect, as the date list of William's children as given, 
is inconsistent, on the face of it:

Susan I. Bowler Baumes was a woman of great beauty and of a 
charming disposition, and unselfish nature, entirely devoted to her hus- 
band and children. Her tender care for them was most lovingly appre- 
ciated and returned. She removed with her family to Duanesburgh, 
Schoharie Co., N. Y., in 1836, and died there. She and her husband, who 
was drowned in Schoharie River, are buried in the village cemetery in 
Sloansville, N. Y. 

The following is taken from a letter written by her brother Joseph 
to her brother in Ohio, announcing her death : 

"I write to tell you of the sad and melancholy event we have had 
to pass through. Our dear sister has left us quite unexpectedly. Though 
she had been quite feeble, she was as well as usual on Sunday, and came 
to the dining room and took dinner with us, but that was the last time slie 
was out of her room, for the next day she was taken with a fainting spell, 
from which she never fully recovered, though she seemed comfortable, 
and we were encouraged, but on the evening of the 15th of Jan. George 
Baumes and wife came here, the first time George's wife was here, and 
she appeared to be better than usual, when she was taken faint, and we 
laid her on the bed, but she did not live more than fifteen minutes. We 
did all we could, but it was of no use. It was a verj^ cold night— Stephen 
and Lucy Ann left for home only a short time before, John and little 
Susan were at Lucy Ann's. 

"Now, dear brother, you know by your own experience what a hoiise 
and family were here— wife, mother, and sister, gone, when we were not 
looking for it! She was quite sensible she would not live long, but she 
did not say much about it, for she saw that Jacob and the children were 
very much worried about her, though they hoped she would im]irove, but 
their hopes were turned to bitterness and grief, and we had to pass 
through the affliction. It was to me most severe— we have lost our 
mother and a sister before, but their loss to me was not so keenly real-

ized as this. Our dear sister to me was a sister and a mother— I never 
will have so kind a friend while I live, and so it seems to the rest of this 
dear family. And she was a friend to everybody, especially to the poor, 
"nie funeral was on Sunday— it snowed all day, but the house was 
full. Elder l\oss i)reached— his text was Revelation, 14th chapter, 18th 
verse, and he preached a great sermon, very much to the satisfaction of 
our friends, and you will perceive from the text what the subject was."

When she was four years of age her parents removed to Carlisle, 
N. Y., where she lived until her first marriage, going then to Utica, N. Y., 
and thence in 1832 to Cleveland. Mr. White was the senior partner in 
the firm of "White «fc Bedford" who were in 1840 the prominent carriage 
builders. In hou«e painting and graining they took the lead in the young 
city of Cleveland. They painted, grained and marbleized the mantles 
throughout the hotel built in Ohio City, called "The Exchange," in 
Jaines Clark's Farmers Block, Mechanics Block, Cleveland Center Ho- 
tel, George B. Merwin's mansion, etc. After her marriage to James 
Holmes, they bought a farm at "Doane's Corners," East Cleveland, in 
what is now (1904) the most desirable residence jiortion of the East End, 
property which she retained until her death. Her third husband, Judge 
Converse, was a man of more than ordinary ability; a prominent poli- 
tician of the Whig school, and one of the early movers in forming and 
organizing the Republican ]iarty, a Judge of the Court of Common 
Pleas, and a member of the State Tjegislature. He was a most excellent 
husband, neighbor and faithful friend. 

She was a devoted and unselfish daughter and sister. For a num- 
ber of vears before his death her fntlier made his home with her, and

on separate occasions two of her brothers, with their motherless little 
ones, were received under her liospitable roof until they again made 
homes of their own. Her grandson, after the death of his mother in 
1865, lived with her until her death, which occurred suddenly from heart 
failure, when she was apparently in jierfect health. She was buried in 
Erie Street Cemetery, Cleveland.

Joseph Irish Bowler was about two years old when his parents re- 
moved to Carlisle, N. Y., which was then a new country. The school ad- 
vantages were very limited, the list of studies including only reading, 
writing, and arithmetic. When he became of school age, his privilege to 
attend was accorded only in winter, as his father's family was large, and 
his services on the farm were demanded at an early age. He was much 
esteemed by his schoolmates and neighbors for Ms gentle disposition, 
combined with love of truth and integrity. 

In his boyhood he took a decided stand on the temperance question, 
and when nearly everyone used gin and rum, at corn-huskings and house- 
raisings, as was the custom in those days, he never tasted them. He 
early became convinced of the truth of the Christian religion, uniting 
with the denomination known as "Bible Christians," whose pastor was 
that most excellent man. Rev. John Ross, of Charlestown, Montgomerv 
Co., N. Y. 

He went with the family to Ohio, in 1833. assisting to clear a large 
farm of its primeval forest, and remaining several years after his 
majority. 

In 1840, he returned to Schoharie, in which vicinity he lived until 
his death. After his marriage he lived in the Carew-Phelps homestead, 
a treasure house of beautiful Colonial furniture, china, and rare old 
things, the Carews having been of consequence long before the Revolu- 
tion. An exquisite miniature of Azor Carew (1750) is now (1904) owned 
by his great-granddaughter, Mrs. Gordon.

The following, from a local pa))er, was written by the aged and be- 
loved pastor. Elder .John Ross, who, though from age had given up 
preaching, did on this occasion preach the funeral discourse: "The de- 
ceased was a man universally esteemed among those with whom he lived 
and died. A devoted wife mourns as no one else can his sudden depart- 
ure, but she mourns in hope. I find from my Church record that he was 
baptized by me, and became a member of the Christian Church at 
Charleston Four Corners, in 1S32, and lived and died in that communion. 
The funeral services were attended at the Baptist Clnirch in Sloansville, 
on the 3rd of April, and were conducted by the pastor, Elder James 
Wright, with sermon by the writer, from Psalm XLVI, 10."

She was born at the home of her grandfather, Nathan Barber, and 
was taken as a babe to the new home of the family in Carlisle, N. Y. In 
common with other children in that new country, she had but slight op- 
portunities for an education, which she in after life often lamented, but 
her good, practical, common sense made her an invaluable heli)-meet 
and advisor to her husband and instructor of her children, and a useful 
member of society. In 1839 she went to Stamford, Conn., to keep house 
for her brother George, whose wife had recently died, leaving four young 
children. Here she met Stephen Wan-en, whom she afterward married. 
Immediately after marriage they went to Bainbridge, 0., where Mr. 
Warren operated a tannery for some years. 

In 185.'") they removed to Michigan, where they purchased a farm, 
which they sold in 1871, when they bought a town home in Union City.

Her complexion and features were of the Bowler type, light hair, 
fair skin, and gray eyes. Her disposition was retiring, diffident, modest, 
but strong for the right. In common with her brothers and sisters, she 
improved every opportunity to gain an education amidst discouraging 
circumstances. She early yielded to the claims of Christianity, and was 
through life a devoted Christian, an exemplary member of the Bajitist 
Church. After her marriage they lived on the Brewster farm, lying 
west of Bridge Creek, near Auburn, until Mr. Brewster's death. 

The following is taken from her obituary in the Chardon, 0., 
' ' News" : ' ' Mrs. Lucy A. Harvey died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
Tibbetts, in Topeka, Kan., where funeral services were held, conducted 
by Rev. Storrs, before she was brought to Chardon, the home of her 
son, Eugene. Services were held here, conducted by Rev. J. M. Keck ; 
sermon from 1st Corinthians, 15th chapter, 54 verse: 'When this mor- 
tal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the say- 
ing that is written, death is swallowed up in victory. ' Her aim was ever 
to lead a Christian life."

THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 57 

THE BREWSTER "MAYFLOWER" ANCESTRY. 
Ancestry of Iliram Brewster. 

AVilliam Brewster, the Revei'oiid Elder, b. i)robably 1566 or '67, in 
Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, Eng., s. of WiUiam Brewster, wiio in 1575 
was a])i)ointed receiver of Scrooby, and bailiff of his manor house, by 
Archbishop Sandys. U])on his fatlier's death, he was himself a])i)ointed 
"Post" or Master of the Court Mails at Scrooby, holding that office un- 
til Sept., 1607. 

During these years, the Separatist Congregation, which later emi- 
grated to Holland, was gathered in the neighboring villages under the 
guidance of Clifton and Robinson, meeting for worship in the old manor 
house at Scrooby where Brewster entei-tained them "with great love" 
and was their "special stay and help." When, in 1607, they made their 
first unsuccessful effort to leave P]ngland, Brewster and Bradford were 
among the imprisoned. When finally the little band was settled under 
Robinson at Leyden, Biewster supported himself by teaching English 
to students, and as a printer. Upon arrival at Leyden, he had been made 
a ruling Elder of the Church, and as such accompanied the "Mayflower" 
pilgrims. His wife, Mary, b. abt. 1569, accompanied him and d. at Ply- 
mouth, April 17, 1627. He was one of the eight "Undertakers." 

During its early years, and while the Colony had no minister, he 
taught twice each Sabbath, and Bradford says: "Many were brought 
to God by his ministrie. He did more in this behalf in a year, than many 
that have their hundreds a year, doe in all their lives. He was wise and 
discreete and well spoken, having a grave and deliberate utterance, of a 
very cherfuU sijirite, of an humble and modest mind." He was greatly 
beloved. He d. April 10, 1644, at Plymouth. His son 

Love Brewster, b. in England, came with his parents in tlie "May- 
flower," m. May 15, 1634, Sarah, duu. of William Collier, of Duxbury, 
where he resided in a house belonging to Elder Brewster. Extract from 
his will: "I give unto my children — that is to say, Nathaniel, William. 
Wrasteling, and Sarah, each of them a kettle — and further my will is that 
my three sonnes shall have each of them a peece, that is to say a gim." 
He gives his wife Sarah all the residue of his estate, goods, chattels, and 
land at Duxburrow— at her death to his son Nathaniel, but "in Case god 
should take him away out of this life without Issew— I give and bequeath 
the said lands at Duxburrow to my second son William Brewster."

In appearance she was like her mother, dark hair, brown eyes, with 
her father's temperament— sanguine, nervous, great energy, persever- 
ance and endurance, quick to perceive and apt to learn. ^^Hien the study 
of grannnar was introduced in the schools, she was one of the class, in 
her twelftli year. She was a great lover of music, with a voice better 
than the average. She was fifteen when lier parents moved to Ohio, and 
eighteen when she married, and began housekeeping on the Smith home- 
stead farm in Bainbridge, Geauga Co., 0. In 1846 they removed to 
Cleveland. Mr. Smith was engaged in selling wool and cattle to the 
Eastern market. On one of his trips east, he was killed in a railroad 
accident. 

Mrs. Smith purchased a lot and built a large house at 68 Ei'ie St., 
which was then at the city limits of Cleveland. She afterward removed 
to Cincinnati, and later to New York City. Her marriage to Captain 
Hall took place at the home of her daughter, in Buffalo, and was un- 
usually happy. After thirty years mastering of whaling vessels, he

liad retired with a competence, and their later years were spent in 
travel, or, with, the generous, warm social instincts of both, in keeping 
beautiful "India Point" almost constantly open to their many friends. 
The old home is now (1904) owned and occupied by the daughter at 
whose house they were married. The follownng is taken from the 
"Westerly Weekly": "Mrs. Hall will be remembered for her genial 
disposition. She was remarkable for her cheerfulness. She was reso- 
lutely hoiieful. Even to herself she would not admit her troul)les or her 
iufinnities. Although she did not allow herself to be despondent, she 
had abundant sympathy for others. In her judgments, as in her acts, 
she was generous. These qualities showed her strength of character. 
She was amiable, but she was not compliant. Her character was largely 
the result of her faith, and her course was one of principle, for she had 
the keenness of mind and soberness of judgment to appreciate her trou- 
bles, but she also had the moral courage to conceal them." Her son, 
Albert Smith, of New York, is (19U4) of international reputation in the 
sporting world. He has made his home at the "Gilsey" for more than 
twenty years. He was the manager of the original pedestrian matches 
in England and America. Interested in all sporting matters, his word 
is known to be as good as his bond. He was invited abroad by the Eng- 
lish Clubs, and entertained during King Edward's Coronation. As a 
young man, he was Adjutant in a Missouri Regiment during the Civil 
War. He went to the California gold fields in the "sixties." He has 
not married.

60 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

He had light complexion, blue eyes, and curling hair, favoring his 
father, though more slender, but he had his mother's wonderful, even 
temper, and gentle disposition. In all their lives, his children saw him 
angry very few times, and then it was "righteous wrath." In their 
memory, and in the memory of all who knew him, he must always be en- 
throned as a saint, a gentle soul, who never seemed even tempted to do 
wrong, and yet, withal a strong character, whose judgment was sought 
after and relied upon, a marvellous man, who retained his youth in looks, 
and mind, and heart, far past four score years. 

When about eight years old, he went to Charleston, N. Y., in the fam- 
ily of Rev. John Ross, who taught him, in connection with his own son. 
Two years later he lived in the family of James Boughton, where he did 
chores and went to school. Here, for the first time, he found a weekly 
newspaper to read. Mr. Boughton was a very strict Presbyterian and 
it was with some difficulty that young Bowler was prohibited from read- 
ing the paper on the Sabbath day. His love of reading was stronger than 
his fear of being reproved. In the winter of 1832, he lived with a ven- 
erable widow. Aunt Ruth Lawton, a friend of the family, working for 
his board and going to school. He was required to work at home at an 
age so young, that in riding a horse, to cultivate the corn, it was neces- 
sary to tie him on for safety. At twelve years old, a small scythe and 
snath were purchased especially for him. When the family moved to 
Ohio in 1833, he and an older brother (Joseph) drove with a horse and 
Imggy to Buffalo, from there passage was taken to Fairport in a small 
schooner, and from there they proceeded to Auburn, 0., to the home of 
their uncle, Pardon Wilber. The farm purchased by his father was a 
tract of unbroken forest, in Auburn. The first clearing was made in 
1833, in time to sow wheat that fall. For three years he assisted in clear- 
ing the land and building a house and barn, he cutting down the first 
tree on the farm. In 1836 he went with Elijah Pettingill to learn the 
carpenter and joiner trade, working two summers and attending school 
about three months in the year. In the winter of 1836-7 he attended 
school on the Center Road, called the Wilber district. The school was 
taught by J. W. Gray, who afterward established the Cleveland "Plain 
Dealer" and became a distinguished journalist and political writer. In 
the summer of 1838 he worked for another builder, James Button. That 
fall he was examined by Judge Phelps, and received a certificate of 
"good moral character" and to teach. His first school was in Munson, 
Geauga Co., O. He continued to attend school summers and teach win-

attend the select school in Cleveland, tau^lit by N. A. (iray, l)r()ther of 
J. W. Gray, and in 1841 he attended the Classical School of W. D. Beat 
tie, in Cleveland. In 1842 he studit>d at Prof. B. F. Abel's select school 
in Troy, 0. In 1844 he married Cordelia Hanmnn, wlio was educated at 
the famous seminary of Mar\' Lyon, at Mt. Holyoke, Mass. Tn April. 
1845, he and his wife removed to Cleveland, and at once united by letter 
with the Second Presbyterian Churdi, Bev. S. B. Canfield, pastor. For 
four years after going to Cleveland, he owned a grocery, but in 1841) he 
went as City Editor in the "Plain l^ealer" office, with his old friend, J. 
W. Gray, and remained with him until 1853. In July of that year he 
entered an entirely new field, going with George W. Sizer into an iron 
foundry, which business he followed for fifty years. Tn Marcii, ISO.'J, he 
opened a foundry of his own ; in July he took his brother in comi)any, and 
the next year Thomas Maher was admitted as a jiartner. Tn May, 1870, 
Charles A. Brayton was admitted, constituting the firm of Bowler, Maher 
& Brayton. In 1880, Maher and Tirayton proposed to either buy or sell, 
and N. P. Bowler decided to buy, admitting with him W. W. Balkwill, 
forming the new firm of Bowler & Co. In 1901 this concern was incor- 
porated into The Bowler Foundry Co. In addition to this, he was in- 
terested in a number of other industries, among which are The Cleveland 
Frog & Crossing Co., The Cleveland Steel Casting Co., The Standard 
Car Wheel Co., The Forest City Paint & Varnish Co., The Robert Fence 
Machine Co., and The Everstick Overshoe Co. 

He was a member of the old "Cleveland Board of Trade," which 
afterward became the "Chamber of Commerce," in which organization 
he was an active member. 

In 18(58 he became a member of Cleveland City Lodge No. 15, F. and 
A. M., and also entered Webb Chapter No. 14, taking all the degrees in 
the Cha]iter, Oct. 7, 1869. Tie was a trustee of the Masonic Temjile for 
several years. In 1878 he was elected a member of the American Society 
of Mining Engineers. The same year he was elected trustee of the 
Cleveland Water Works. He was one of the original members of the 
Civil Elngineers Club, of Cleveland, formed in 1880, and held several of 
its offices. 

He early became a life member of the Y. M. C. A., and was also a 
life member of the Western Beserve Historical Society. He was among 
the first to join the "Sons of the American Bovolution," his Society No. 
being 18, State No. 222, and National No. 2210.

In polities he was a Democrat until 1856, when the outrages com- 
mitted under the Pierce administration, and sanctioned by the party, 
were more than he could approve, and he assisted in forming the Repub- 
lican pai-ty, and was made chairman of the first meeting held for that 
pur])ose in Cuyahoga Co. 

The following is taken from the obituary of Mrs. Bowler, in the 
Cleveland "Plain Dealer," Sept. 1, 1895: "Arvilla Eoot, wife of N. P. 
Bowler, died at their summer residence, "Bonniewood," Lake Shore 
Boulevard, on Friday night. She was l)orn in Poiiage Co. seventy-two 
years ago, and has been a resident of Cleveland for more than forty 
years. She was actively identified with many charitable organizations, 
and was one of the founders of the Dorcas Society. Her most active 
work was in connection with the Dorcas Invalid's Home, and later with 
the Bethany Home for crippled children, to both of which she was a large 
contributor. 

"Her funeral services were conducted by Rev. Lathrop Cooley, and 
the Second Presbyterian Church Choir sang."

land they proceeded into the wilderness of Auburn, Geauga Co. William 
lived at horoe, helping as he grew older, to clear the land of timber, and 
going to school in the log school-house, winters. In the winter of 1841, 
he attended Wesley Vincent's select school at Auburn Corners, and in 
1842, J. W. Tyler's school for review, in Bainbridge, preparatory for 
teaching. He taught school as follows: In 1843, Auburn Corners; 1844, 
Chardon; 1845, Cleveland, in a school-house located on what is now 
Willson Avenue, at its intersection with AVoodland Avenue, then called 
Warrensville Road. 

He moved to Cleveland in 1851, and engaged in book-keeping until 
1858, when he was elected Real Estate Assessor of the city west of the 
Cuyahoga River. In 1861 he was appointed Inspector and Deputy Col- 
lector of the Port of Cleveland, by President Lincoln, which office he 
held until Sept. 1, 1867, when he resigned, to organize the firm of Lord, 
Bowler & Co., manufacturers of heavy machinery. In 1863, he became 
interested with his brother, N. P. Bowler, in tlie manufacture of car 
wheels, and in 1874, he caiiitalized the Bowler «fc Burdick Co., a large 
wholesale and retail jewelry house of Cleveland. 

All the chairs in the order of Odd Fellows were held by him. 

He was for several years President of the Y. M. C. A. He was one 
of the first members of the Bethel Associated Charities, and took a lively 
interest in most of Cleveland's charitable organizations. 

He was chairman of the building committee of Hiram College, and 
it was largely through his efforts that the college, from a small begin- 
ning, became a large educational institution. On the college grounds he 
erected Bowler Hall. Nothing escaped his notice, and he saw that the 
dusty, crooked road from the railroad station to the college was straight- 
ened out and macadamized. Beautiful words were s]ioken at his funeral, 
at the Euclid Avenue Disciple Church, where Rev. J. H. Goldner, Rev. 
Lathrop Cooley, Rev. Harrison Jones, Sec. Moffat of the Disciple State 
Board of Missions, and President Zollars of Hiram College, delivered 
eulogies. No truer words were ever uttered than those by Sec. Moffat, 
when he said: "Mr. Bowler exem]ilified the Divine quality which 'so 
loved that He gave.' his love was expressed in generous giving, as all 
who came in touch with his great heart well know." 

Pres. Zollars said: "To stand over this coffin and speak is a sad 
task indeed for me, because in my association with William Bowler, ex- 
tending over a period of fourteen years, I had learned to love him as a 
brother and respect him as a father, and I feel his death as a personal 



THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 65 

bereavement. In his doath Hiram College has lost a true and generous 
friend, who had endeared himself to faculty and students alike by his 
many unselfish deeds of helpful service. During the years of my associa- 
tion with him, I was permitted to have a deep insight into the motives 
and ]Mirposes of his life, and I can safely say that I never have known 
a more unselfish man. He was eminently altruistic in his feelings and 
actions, and outside of his immediate family, the one great interest of 
his life was the advancement of the interests of Hiram College. He loved 
Hiram with a passionate fondness, and was never more happy than when 
he was doing something for its upbuilding. His interest was manifested 
in gifts of money, in wise counsel, in gifts of time. If the time should 
ever come when the name of William f^owler shall not be cherished and 
revered by the friends of Hiram College, this great fellowship will be 
guilty of the basest ingratitude." 

A Memorial from the Faculty read, in part: "In business his fair 
and honorable success was the result of fidelity, and long and painstak- 
ing effort. It was a decisive thing that early in life he committed himself 
to the Christian faith. This faith, with the association that came with 
it, grew very dear to him, and tempered and adorned all his life. He 
was constant in industry and integrity. He grew in benevolence and in 
a gentle courtesy, that shone ever in his countenance, and displayed it- 
self constantly in kindly deeds. "What Hiram College owes to him can 
hardly be ever told. At a crisis in its history, when its future was 
deeply overclouded, he, with one worthy co-laborer, came to its rescue. 
He gave abundantly of his means, his time, and his business ability. We 
prize as a rich endowment, this heritage of conscientious service, and 
loving sacrifice."

She was nine years old when the family moved to Ohio. She im- 
proved what opportunities for learning the new country afforded, and 
was able to acquire a good common school education. After marriage 
she lived with her husband's family in Bainbridge, O. The family was 
composed of father, mother, three brothers and one sister. She had the 
rare faculty of living hajipily under such circumstances. Ijvman man- 
aged the farm, and after the brothers and sisters were married, Jennette 
tenderly cared for his father and mother while they lived. His father 
was an invalid for more than twenty years. They sold their fann in 
Bainbridge and purchased in Auburn, something over eight hundred 
acres, with residences for each of their sons, the daughters having mar- 
ried and gone to their own homes. Jennette was a brunette, of her 
grandmother Pendleton's type, genial, witty, ever cheerful, never dis- 
couraged. She was a devoted wife and mother, and an atfectionate sis- 
ter. She died after a lingering illness, and was laid to rest in the beau- 
tiful cemetery at Auburn Corners, where her husband, later, was also 
buried.

score years and ten. He lived in Auburn until 1868, when he removed to 
Orange, where he remained until 1881, when he purchased one of the 
most beautiful farms in northern Ohio, in Solon, overlooking the Chagrin 
river. Here he lived until 1900, when, at the solicitation of his son, he 
sold the farm, and went to the town of Chagrin Falls, where he now

He had chosen the Christian ministry for his life work, had for sev- 
eral years attended school at Hirani, with James A. Garfield as teacher, 
and in 1859 went to Oberlin College to graduate, but at the breaking out 
of the Civil War he offered himself to go, at the call of President Lin- 
coln for seventy-five thousand men. A com])any was made u]i of col- 
lege men, of which he was made Sergeant, and which was allotted "C. 
7th O. V. I." '\^1ien the three months' time had expired for which the 
seventy-five thousand men were called, he enlisted for three years or 
during the war, and continued with Co. C. as its Sergeant. In the spring 
of 1862 the Regiment was transferred from West Virginia to the Army 
of the Potomac, and located in the Valley of the Shenandoah. In August, 
at the Battle of Cedar Mountain, under Gen. N. P. Banks, he was among 
the killed. The Confederates held the field, and the dead were buried 
without any mark to designate where he was laid. The following is a 
letter written by Sergeant Bowler to the Cleveland "Leader": 

Camp near Alexandria, July 4, 1862. 

Dear Leader.— If you had been in this neighborhood last evening 
you would have thought from the lively a])i)earance of our cainp that 
something was going on. As soon as it was dark, those who had provided 
themselves with fireworks began to display them. Some of them were 
very fine. The bands played lively airs, and the boys seemed to enjoy 
themselves very much. 

This morning we were reviewed by Gen. Tyler and staff, many citi- 
zens of Wa.shington being present. After passing in review and being 
formed in solid column. Sergeant Bowler of Co. C, Seventh Ohio, read 
the Declaration of Inde])endence, Chaplain Wright then delivered a 
short address, and offered a prayer for the success of our arms. Gen. 
Tyler then made a short speech, telling what had trans])ired during the 
past yeai-. He said when we left Ohio the Briagde was four thousand 
strong, it now numbers a little more than a thousand. His remai'ks were 
appreciated by all, and I could see many tearful eyes around me. The 
General is a good man, and a fine officer, and is well worthy the position 
he now occujjies. 

After returning to camp, and ]iartaking of dinner, the boys pitched 
upon the commissioned officers who have lately been ]iromoted, and inade 
them "stand treat," which they did willingly. Gen. Tyler then 
"treated" the Brigade, which caused a great deal of amusement. 

At three o'clock P. M. the order was given for the 7th to "fall in," 
which we did, and marched to the front of Col. Creighton's quarters

where Gen. Tyler introduced us to the Hon. A. G. Riddle, who made 
a short and beautiful speech. 

On Wednesday I paid a visit to Fort Worth. It was built last win- 
ter by the New Jersey boys, and mounts twelve guns. In the fort there 
is a battery of steel guns, presented to the U. S. Govemmont by the loyal 
Americans in England. 

Our regiment is now resting, and we are enjoying good health. Our 
numbers are small, but I think they are effective. 

Since I wrote you last, T have seen a jiortion of the Bull Run bat- 
tlefield. We expected to go to Richmond, but the order was counter- 
manded, so we are now camped aboiit three miles from Alexandria, and 
may move at any moment. Will write you again when anything special 
turns up. Yours, Charles P. Bowler.

He was quick to learn, and acquired a good business education, clos- 
ing his school days at Hiram College, under the instn;ction of James A. 
Garfield. He remained at home on the farm until he enlisted, 1862, in 
the Flotilla Service of the Mississippi River. Being a good penman, he 
was made the Captain's private secretary, in which capacity he served 
until he was appointed Paymaster, for which appointment he was in- 
debted to his life-long friend. Gen. Garfield. At the close of the war his 
accounts, covering the receiving and disbursing of immense sums, were 

♦When President Harrison and party visited California they were entertained in Pasadena, at Hotel 
Green, of which Col. J. R. Bowler was manager. John Ross Bowler, Jr , then only fonr years old, standing on 
R marble pedestal, draped like a little Greek god, made an address of welcome to the President. His childish 
beauty, combined with marvellous composure of manner and dignity of speech, took the visitors by stoim, and 
baby Ross was presented by them, with a beantifnl silver cap, with appropriate inscription.

tion, and the presentation of a Colonelcy. 

Since 1866 he has been in the hotel business, first in Iowa, in Mar- 
shalltown and Des Moines, and since 1887 in southern California. He 
was for a number of years President of the Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit 
Association. He is a Knight Templar and a member of the order of 
Mystic Shrine. His is a wonderfully genial nature, outwardly happy 
under all circumstances, making friends wherever he is, a typical Boni- 
face of the old days, when the proprietor of a hotel was, in reality, a 
"host," who "welcomed the coming, sped the parting, guest."

His father died when he was an infant, and as he was the only son, 
he began at an early age to provide for his mother, of whom he took the 
most tender care for many years. He was a farmer, and as his land was 
new, and covered with a dense forest of pine trees he became a lumber 
dealer, taking many rafts down the Allegheny river to Pittsburg, and 
the Ohio river to Cincinnati. He was widely known and highly esteemed 
for his honor and integrity of purpose. He was named by Capt Lewis, 
and in 1840 when he was twenty-one, Mrs. Lewis wanted to, and did, 
give him one dollar for naming him, which, he said, was the only dollar 
he ever received that he did not earn. He lived in Little Genesee more 
than seventy yeai's, and in the homestead more than sixty years. He was 
nine years President of the First National Bank of Friendshi]), N. Y., 
and twenty years a Director. He was Supervisor of the County for 
many years.

was a wilderness. He lived in Auburn, Geauga Co. on a farm, and held 
many offices of trust in the county, until 1870, when he moved to Aurora, 
111, where he and his wife both died and were bui'ied. 

One of his daughters thus expresses herself in a letter: "How 
pleasant to remember that I never heard him speak unkindly to any one, 
and the long years of devotion to my dear mother. It is twenty-three 
years since he left us, but the memory of his good life, and love of justice 
and mercy, is always fresh and abiding."

He read law with Judge Phelps of Chardon and was admitted to the 
bar. Tlie following is taken from Mrs. Wilber's obituary in a Toledo 
daily paper: "Saturday night there passed from this life one of the 
most lovable characters in the city of Toledo in the person of Sarah 
Benton Wilber. Mrs. Wilber was eighty seven years of age, and for 
the past thirty five years had resided in Toledo. Her husband, William 
Wilber, died here twenty-five years ago. When she was a year old

her parents moved to the Western I\eserve and settled near Chardon, 
driving all the way from Conn, to that point. Later they moved to 
AVilcottvillo, Ind.,. where the family home was for many years. Mrs. 
Wilber came of sturdy old New England stock, and was a descendant 
of Miles Standish, of the Mayflower pilgrims. All her life she was a 
devoted Christian of the type whose religion shone in her every day 
work. She was a member of St. Paul's church during her entire resi- 
dence in Toledo, where her true Christian spirit gained her a host of 
friends and no enemies. Her reminiscences of early pioneer life in the 
wilds of Ohio and Indiana were always the delight of her family and 
friends. At the breaking out of the Civil War, she gave two sons to 
her country's cause, and George Wilher, who was on McClelland 's staff 
was one of the first of the volunteer soldiers to die for his country. 
Another son becoming ill in the army, his mother went to the front and 
nursed him through his illness, thus displaying her Spartan spirit. A 
remarkable thing in connection with this good woman was that she 
never was ill a day nor an hour in her life, and when it was found that 
she had expired during the night, love and peace were stamped upon 
her features, and death had come as an angel and taken away a soul that 
was prized as a jewel. She was taken to Chardon for interment in the 
family lot, where her husband and two sons lie buried."

THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 79 

Amos Franklin Fay, in the fall of 1866, had an offer of a partner- 
ship in tlic loatlier iuirl tannins? business. Tn order to jtost himself as to 
the latter, and knowing tliat one or two of his cousins were in that 
business in Bleecker, N. Y., he decided to take a one day's trip to con- 
sult with them. He left his home in Buffalo at night, reached Fonda 
about 4 A. M., took the stage to Gloversville, had an early breakfast, 
and started with a horse and buggy for Bleecker,— but took the wrong 
road, and by making inquiries, found he could take a wood road, and 
over a high hill conld get on the right road, which he reached all right, 
and had not gone more than a quarter of a mile, when he met his uncle 
AVilliam on his way to Fonda on a load of lumber. He spent the day 
with him at Fonda, and returned that night to Buffalo, to keep an en- 
gagement. The result of the trij) was unfortunate, as he invested in a 
losing business, but the incident made an interesting story, to be told 
many years afterward. He is not now engaged in active business, but 
at the age of eighty-thi-ee, enjoys remarkable health for his years, 
and is a charming companion and correspondent. Following are ex- 
tracts from his letters: "Our grandmother Bowler's first husband's 
name was Gallup,— I do not know his first name,— one of a Connecticut 
family. He died leaving his wife with two sons and two daughters. 
The oldest. Aunt Katie (Gallup) Cochran, and husband, moved to 
Spring\nlle, Erie Co., N. Y., about 1809-10, and were among the first 
settlers in that part of the country. The oldest son, Uncle Amos Gallup, 
married a Franklin, (my name was in remembrance of the two) he 
.and his family remained with the grandmother on the old family farm. 
Uncle Joseph Gallup married a Barney, and lived in the vicinity of 
Guilford until about 1830, when he removed to Brattleboro. Aunt 
Rhoda (Galluj)) Stark and husband came to the Holland Purchase and 
settled on a small farm in the town of Sardinia, about four miles from 
Springville, about 1818-19, bringing with them one son Joseph and one 
daughter Harriet, and my mother, who came to make her home with 
Aunt Katie, and soon after married my father. I do not think a single 
one of Uncle Amos Gallup 's children are living, nor any of Uncle 
Joseph Gallup's. Of Aunt Katie's family, only one is living,— David H. 
Cochran, who was some thirty odd years Pres. of the Brooklyn Poly- 
technique School, and his children are married and settled in Brooklyn, 
N. Y. There were peculiar features in the Cochran and the Stark 
families,— Aunt Katie was very small, not over ninety pounds weight. 
Aunt Rhoda 's usual weight was 250 lbs., and Uncle Abraham's 220, 



80 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

and active as a cat ! At one time three athletes at a Wood Bee set out 
to whip him, but as they came up one at a time he picked them up and 
threw them over a big wood-pile ! His oldest son, Joseph, was a Gallup, 
and weighed about 150. He used to work for father, and was an honest, 
good fellow, the slowest mortal you ever saw, but he would do a good 
day 's work. Father used to say that one would have to sight the fence 
corner to see which way he was going. Barney, the youngest son, was 
a fighter from the word go, a Stark and a Gallup all in a lump. At 
fifty years of age it was said that Uncle Abram Stark could make a 
standing jump over a six rail fence,— and about that time a man grossly 
insulted him, and in return he got a blow from uncle's fist that broke 
his jaw into three pieces! This caused him an expensive law-suit. I 
remember one stoiy Aunt Katie and Aimt Rhoda used to laugh over,— 
their mother gave each a "stint" to s]iin a certain quantity of tow, but 
they had so much play that the "stint" was not finished, and they car- 
ried the balance to the first wood-chuck hole on the side hill, and hid the 
tow. The dog found it and exposed tlie trick, and the licking they got 
was never forgotten. 

The first Esqr. Hiram Yaw was a cousin of our grandmother, and 
one of the first settlers of Boston, Erie Co., N. Y. His son and grand- 
sons were pushing business men. Their specialty was the manufacture 
of sheet-iron cow and sheep bells, and they had the control of the 
market from Canada to New Mexico and Texas, and we used to sell them 
tons and tons of material, — rods for bell clappers, sheet-iron, old brass 
for brazing them,— and they would travel all over their territory for 
orders, then ship the bells, and go over it all again to collect pay, taking 
in all manner of truck that new settlers had to barter with. One of 
Esqr. Hiram Yaw's grandsons married into the Beach family, and was 
the father of Ellen Beach Yaw, the celebrated singer. I have a faint 
recollection that I once heard my mother speak of one of the first of the 
Yaw name to come to America, as a soldier on the British Army during 
the early French and Indian Wars, and that in some way he was left in 
this country and caused others of the name to come over and settle here. 
There were several of the name in the vicinity of our grandmother's 
home, in Guilford and Wilmington, Vt. and Colerain, Mass."

mills of various kinds in Colchester and East Haddam, Ct. He was 
Grand Juror, Selectman, and Moderator. In May, 1750, he was elected 
Rep. of the Gen. Assembly, and was member of thirteen sessions. In 
1756 he was appointed Justice of the Peace. He was an intimate friend 
of the elder Gov. Trumbull, tliey frequently taking horse-back journeys 
to and from Colchester and Lebanon on visits to each other. He in- 
vented an apparatus for pressing cloth, and another for pressing flax 
seed. He invented machinery for cutting iron screws, and obtained a 
bar of iron to be used for that purpose, which proved to have flaws. He 
then went to a forge and ordered one made without any flaw or un 
soundness, and on working on this, it proved to be what he had desired. 
From that was cut the first screw ever made by machinery. He used it 
for several years in his oil mill at East Haddam, until it was purchased 
by Asa Foote, and it was afterward in possession of the Foote family 
for many years. In the old Colchester Burying Ground ai"e two red 
tombstones standing side bj^ side, from which the following inscription

Nehemiah Knight came of good stock,— his family has long been an 
honored one in Rhode Island. His great-grandfather was member of 
the House of Representatives in 1803. He wrote a letter, dated Oct. 16, 
1803, on his arrival in Washington, containing an account of the inci- 
dents of his fortnight's journey, with a fine description of the city as it 
then was, and a charming story of his first dinner with President Jef- 
ferson. 

His great-uncle Nehemiah was elected Gov. of R. I. in 1817, and 
held the office four years, when he was sent to the IT. S. Senate, and 
ser\'ed there twenty years. 

The subject of this sketch was a graduate of Brown University, 
1833. He and Henry B. Anthony, afterward Governor, roomed to- 
gether during the entire course. Their room was in the third story, 
north division, new college, and they never changed it. It was one of 



100 THE BOWLER GENKALOGY. 

the pleasantest places in the University, to visit. As a young man, 
Nehemiah Knight was tall, ratlier slender, light hair, blonde complexion, 
blue eyes, and a very pleasant expression. He maintained a good stand 
for scholarship and conduct throughout the course, but the qualities for 
which he was most distinguished and is best remembered, were his 
uprightness, integrity, and perfect candor, his gentlemanly bearing, and 
uniform amiability. After hesitating a little about adopting his father's 
profession, he went to New York shortly after gi'aduating, and en- 
gaged in the dry-goods jobbing business, which he followed until his 
death, at which time he was a member of the firm of Hoyt, Spragues & 
Co. In a letter written after the death of Mrs. Knight by a friend who 
knew them both long and intimately, occurs this tribute: "They both 
were generous, but generous without ostentation,— neither of them had 
any relish for what is denominated "fashionable life,"— they were 
domestic in their tastes and habits, and home was their rendezvous. 
Mr. Knight was regarded as exceedingly prosperous, but his prosperity 
did not incline him nor his wife to surrender old friends, whether rich 
or i30or, for new friends, revolving in the orbit of fashionable life,— 
they were always the same. 

I suppose we ought not to regret her departure for the spirit 
world, she had reached a ripe old age, and has gone to rejoin the hus- 
band of her love, and yet those of us who knew her good qualities, so 
abundant, cannot refrain from regret that we shall see her face no 
more. ' '

Loranica (Iloppin) Jones was a woman of quiet dignity, rare intel- 
ligence, and affectionate kindliness of manner. She was a faithful, 
devoted wife and mother, a good and loving friend,— her gentle, quiet

of great price.

of Seventy-Six Years, (1811-1887), in Public, Business, and Social Life, 
in Providence, R. I., and Philadelphia, Pa." He was devoted to music, 
was a man of exceedingly refined tastes, of keen observation, and genu- 
ine religious and moral purity.

Hon. Marcus Morton, who was at the head of the judicial system of 



104 THE BOWLER GENEAXOGY. 

Massachusetts, was a member of a notable family. His father, bearing 
the same name, was a Justice of the Supreme Court from 1825 to 1840, 
in which year he was elected Governor of Massachusetts. His son was 
appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court in 1859, and a Justice of the 
Supreme Court in 1869. In 1882 he was appointed Chief Justice. He 
was selected a member from Andover, of the Constitution Convention 
of the State, in 1853, his father being the member from Taunton, and in 
connection with this, an anecdote must be told: In one of the discus- 
sions that took place, the father, who was a life-long Democrat, took 
decidedly adverse views of the question then under consideration, to 
those of the son, who had left the Democratic party and had become a 
"Free Soiler" or Republican. He attempted to show that certain 
propositions advanced by the "member from Andover" were incorrect, 
untenable, and were only pardonable on account of lack of judgment and 
experience. After the father had finished, the son rose to reply, and, 
as was stated, demolished the father, by quoting from his own writings, 
which he could neither put aside nor deny! Much amusement was 
caused in the Convention by this episode. 

He was a native of Taunton, Mass., fitted for college af Bristol 
Academy, and was graduated from Brown University in 1838. Among 
the members of this class were Hon. C. S. Bradley, ex-Chief Justice of 
R. I., E. G. Robinson, ex-Pres. of Brown University, G. Vaness Lathrop, 
ex-Minister to Russia, and Alexander Burgess, Bishop of the Episcopal 
Church. He was admitted to the bar while his father was Governor of 
the State. When Judge Hoar was made Attorney-General by Pres. 
Grant, Judge Morton, who was then on the Superior Bench, was ad- 
\^anced to the Supreme Court, and when Chief Justice Gray was ad- 
vanced to the U. S. Supreme Bench, Judge Morton was given the highest 
Judicial honors. In 1869, the year of this advancement, he was given 
the honorary degree of LL. D. by Brown University, and upon his 
elevation to the Chief Justiceship, a similar honor was conferred upon 
him by Hai'vard. His bearing upon the Bench was dignified, and his 
legal opinions widely quoted. In person he was tall and slender, and he 
bore the weight of his years, almost to the last, with the vigor of youth. 
He was descended from George Morton, who arrived at Plymouth in 
the ship "Ann," July, 1623, and who, before and after his arrival, was 
an intimate friend of Bradford and Winthrop.

180. LLOYD BOWERS HOPPIN. 

Lloyd Bowers, son of Henry and Amy Harris (Bowler) (53) Hop- 
pin, b. Mar. 16, 1824, in Providence, ni. Nov. 2, 1853, in Philadelphia, 
by Rev. M. A. DeV. Howe, in .St. Luke's Church, Arabella Frances, dau. 
of Isaiah and Mary Jane (Bagiey) Home. He d. June 22, 1891. She 
d. No children. 

Lloyd Bowers HoiJiiin was for many years engaged in making cork 
models of celebrated buildings in this country and Europe, and in this 
capacity exhibited great ingenuity, artistic taste, and skill. His largest 
models were those of St. Peter's at Rome, Lambeth Palace, Westminster 
Abbey, and Windsor Castle, wliicli last was jJaced in South Kensing- 
ton Museum. It is believed that he was the only artist of this kind, 
and with strict adherence to measurements, architecture, style, detail, 
etc., he produced an almost ]ierfect fac-similc of the object. Through- 
out the country he was well known, and his work received the apprecia- 
tion it well deserved. 

To the genealogy of his family he devoted a large amount of time, 
effort, and labor, and produced a family record book, which excites the 
admiration of all who see it. His own description of it I quote from a 
letter written by him to N. P. Bowler, in 1885: "My Register contains 
my ancestry from Edmund Grindall, Archbisliop of Canterbury, from 
whose sister we start on my father's side, and Gov. Bradford of the 
"Mayflower" on my mother's, and these ancestries were coupled with 
the Lees and the Bowlers, and thence into the Ilopitins. All these rec- 
ords were so very correct, through Bible records, wills, and other 
sources, that some years since I compiled them, and for preservation 
spared no pains to ])ut them in shape as a family keepsake for the 
future. Doing (his, formed a book, the })ages of which are 15x17 inches, 
each one illuminated, and the text old Englisli, done by hand, in water 
color, (black). This book, then, has a casket, in inn'tation of antique 
work, of black walnut and oak, with silver clasp, the whole affair, in its 
massive form, weighing about forty jiounds." This book was left in 
trust to Marcus Morton (.'ird), he being the first son by the marriage of 
a descendant of Alice (Southworth) Bradford, and a descendant of 
George Morton, both of whom came over in tlie "Ann," .Inly, 102.3. If 
the time should ever come, when there is no Morton heir, the book is to 
go to the Rhode Island Historical Society, never again to leave its roof. 
Lloyd Hoppin was unusually well infonned, particularly in all matters

connected with the fine arts, and being a man of affable address, and of 
that native courtesy due to inborn Ijindness of lieart, he was most liighly

Mr. and Mrs. Antisdel were earnest Christian people, whose am- 
bition for their children was that their lives niiifht be devoted to the 
Master's work— their thought seemed to be: "This alone is great, and 
there is no other greatness— to make some work of God's creation a 
little fniitfuller— better worthy of God— to make some human hearts a 
little wiser, ha]ipier, manfuller, more blessed, less accursed — it is work 
for a God," and with this end in view the children were given eveiy 
advantage of education, and both sons studied for the ministry, one 
of them dying in the flower of his young manhood, before his studies 
were completed. 

Tliey lived to see the other fulfill, in a measure, their hopes for him, 
in successful missionary work in Africa. 

Their home was for many years in Janesville. Wis.

They resided all their married life at "The Cedars" on the Hudson 
River, where Mr. Baumes died. He was born in 1822, near South Beth- 
lehem, N. Y. He was a man of excellent character, and took a lively 
interest in public questions. He was a Democrat, and held several of- 
fices for that party. Like all of her mother's daughters, she was a 
gentle, self-sacrificing woman, whose memory is cherished by her chil- 
dren and grandchildren for her constant, loving devotion as long as

When James R. Haskell was nine years old, he removed with his 
parents to Ohio, where his father purchased a large tract of land in the 
town of Peninsula, Boston Township. He was educated at the best 
schools and academies in that vicinity, finishing his studies at Western 
Reserve College, then located at Hudson, Ohio. At the age of seventeen, 
he received an appointment from Judge Lyman of Ravenna, 0., to a 
Cadetship at West Point, but his father was opposed to his going, 
which was a great disappointment to the young aspirant for military 
honors. At twenty-four, he was appointed Assistant Post Master at 
Cleveland, his brother Daniel M. Haskell being Post Master. It was a 
large distributing office, even in that early day (1850), and under his 
systematic control it ran so successfully, that his relation to the office 
was compared as the mainspring to the watch. At the close of his duties 
there in 1853, he removed to New York City, engaging in a mercantile 
business, but this did not suit his taste nor ambition, and in 1856 he met 
Mr. Azel S. Lyman, who presented to his notice an invention in the im- 
provement of Heavy Ordnance, being an accelerating or multicharge 
system, which interested Mr. Haskell, and in which he saw great possi- 
bilities, so great, that for many years he gave his entii'e attention to the

porfocting of this iiriiiciplc. The U. S. Government recognized the ad- 
vantages of the jMultioharge System and Mr. Haskell's ability to perfect 
it, and a nnmber of large guns were built, the Goveninient making 
adeipiate approjtriatioiis for canying on the work. Many obstacles 
presented themselves, whicli lie was bound to overcome, with a naturally 
strong will and determination to accomplish what he undertook, he 
would never listen to the word fail. He brought liis work to a satis- 
factoiy state of perfection, but for some time before the last gun was 
completed, his mind seemed clouded, and with complications, his health 
gave way, and after a lingering illness, he passed away. His business 
brought him in contact with the foremost men of the time, and with his 
genial, magnetic nature, he made many friends among them. A more 
detailed account of his life and work is being prepared (19U4) for the 
National Cyclopaedia. 

Julia (Wiiite) Haskell was a girl of rare beauty, with a mentality 
full of wit and sparkle, which only mellowed into attractive age. 
At seventy-one she wrote: "I often tliink of my family,— gone before 
me, and I left so long,— it seems so easy for our dear ones to slip away 
into the unknown, never to touch again their dear hands, nor hear the 
voice so loved, — but when I look back thiough memory's long vista of 
years, I behold bright and happy faces to greet my searching eyes. I 
know not why I have been spared, but I am feeling very comfortable, I 
go out each day for air and exercise, which I enjoy very much. We 
have been having a series of lovely October days, with the dreamy haze 
of the season, and Jack Frost has given us such a beautiful Autumn,— 
no vivid reds and greens, but every exquisite shade of brown. This is 
my Queen month of the year,— I love it more than any other, 1 dread 
the winter, it is an enemy to me,— I long for California, with its sunny, 
welcoming smiles, but i am not strong enough to go again."

Peabody, b. April 14, 1839, in Newport, R. I., m. Nov. 27, 1855, in Char-

849. 4 John, Jr., b. Nov. 5, 1877. 

Mary, being but sixteen, her father was obliged to procure her 
marriage license, and in some unaccountable way, the letter, written 
from Auburn, her father's home, to Chardon, the County seat, and 
containing the remittance for the license, was lost, so when the wedding 
day came, (it was Thanksgiving day) and all preparations for the fes- 
tivities were made, the license was not forthcoming, and the young bride 
and groom-elect started out alone, to drive to Chardon, in quest of the 
indispensable license. They were married in Chardon, at the Methodist 
parsonage, by Rev. E. B. Latimer, and had a long, cold ride home, in the 
old-fashioned stage coach, which was the only public conveyance, in 
that region. John Fish was the "country doctor" in Auburn, for many 
years, and like Luke, he was the "beloved physician." He came, "not 
to be ministered unto, but to minister," and no night was so dark, no 
weather so boisterous that "Dr. John" failed to respond to the call of 
"his people," or to the stranger within the gates.

He had nearly completed his fifty-fourth year at the time of his 
death. In early life he became a member of the Baptist Church, and 
ever after maintained an unblemished Christian character. He located 
in Minneapolis, Minn., in 1870, and at once identified himself with the 
First Baptist Church, and until his death was active and influential in 
all that pertained to its temporal and spiritual welfare. He served the 
Church as Trustee until within a year of his death. 

Integrity, force, and wisdom characterized him as citizen and man 
of business. He exemplified the Apostle Paul's grand ideal of the busi- 
ness man, "Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord." 
He belonged to that class of men whose courage, push, and wisdom have 
made Minneapolis what it is. He was a Christian of the most decided 
convictions. He held the Truth with that good old Puritan grip which 
he inherited through his grandmother, from his great-grandsire, the 
renowned Elder Abram Coon, of Hopkinton, B. I. 

He was frank to a fault, cheerful and tender. His wife and two 
sons were members with him of the First Baptist Church. They cher- 
ish in memory the devoted husband and father, the wise counselor, who 
was an example of Christian integrity, whose name was honorable and 
honored within a large circle of relatives and friends. "He rests from 
his labors and his works do follow him."

At seventeen years of age, Oct. 14, 1861, at Friendship, N. Y., he en- 
listed in Co. C, 85th N. Y. V. I. for three years. He received honorjible 
discharge at Elniira, N. Y., Ai)ril 24, 1865, his term of service having 
expired, and tlio end of the war being at hand. TTo was in the siege of 
Yorktown, and on the evacuation of that place, followed the Confederates 
to Williamsburg, thence to Fair Oaks and partici]iat('(l in tlie seven 
days' fight in the swam]is of the Chickahominy in the early summer of 
1862. lie accomjianicd ^IcClellan's army on the retreat to Harrison's 
Landing and fought and skirmished all along the route to Fortress Mon- 
roe. Thence the command proceeded to Suffolk where his regiment was 
detailed to aid in the defence of the advantages gained in the capture of 
the Navy Yard at Norfolk. The command eami^ed for a time on the 
Blackwater river and in Nov., 1862, went from Suffolk to Newbern, N. 
C, on transports. He was in the campaign along the line of railroad 
between NcAvbern and Goldsboro, engaged in its destruction, and was 
under Confederate fire for seven successive days. Engaged in skir- 
mishing and outpost duties at Roanoke Island and Plymouth for a year. 
On Sunday, April 17, 186.'?, late in the day, the TTnion pickets were driven 
in, and soon after, the attack on Fort Cray commenced. On the follow- 
ing day hot war w^as at hand and the Confederate iron-clad ram, "Albe- 
marle," taking a hand in the contest, prevented reinforcements and ren- 
dered the fleet of the Union gimboats useless. On the third day, Brig.- 
Gen. "\V. H. Wessells, one of the bravest of the Union officers, surren- 
dered with his whole force. The next day the prisoners were marched 
through Foster's Mills, .Tamesville, Williamstown, Hamilton, and to 
Tarboro, where the prisoners, 2,197 in number, of which Mr. Coon was 
one, were driven like cattle into cattle cars at Goldsboro, through Wil- 
mington, Charleston, Savannah and Macon, to Andersonville. 

At Andersonville occurred several examples of his unselfishness. 
One day there came word, after months of waiting, that the prisoners 
were to be exchanged, but it proved to be only a part of them, and 

10 



146 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

"Jim" was one of the number, but, when it came time to go, though 
starving there, he gave his exchange i^apers to a friend who had a wife 
and children at home, bidding liim God-speed. 

At another time his mother sent him a ])air of boots, and when they 
reached him he had been barefooted for months, but he had a dear friend 
sick in the hospital, dying from hunger, and he sold the boots to a Con- 
federate officer for something for the poor fellow to eat. About the first 
of Sept., 1864, owing to the fear on the part of the Confederates, that 
Gen. Shenuan would attempt to liberate the prisoners, they were re- 
moved to Charleston where they occupied the race track while the stock- 
ade prison of Florence was being prepared for them, and which they 
occupied about the 8th of Oct., '64. Mr. Coon determined to escape at 
the first opportunity, and on Jan. 3, 1865, he succeeded in doing so. He, 
with four others, set out on their way North, but their absence was soon 
observed and they were tracked with bloodhounds and recaptured, and 
again taken back to the banks of the Little Pedee river. He, with his 
comrades, was taken to Wilmington, then to Goldsboro and Raleigh, 
and thence to the stockade in'ison at Salisbury, short stops being made 
at each place on account of the exceedingly uncertain operations of Gen. 
Sherman. On Feb. 26, 1865, the prisoners left Salisbury for a march 
of fifty-two miles to Greensboro, where they were placed on ears and 
sent to Goldsboro to be paroled. 

There the host of emaciated, ragged and starved men were turned 
loose to make their way to Wilmington, and from there Mr. Coon went 
to the parole camp at Annapolis, where he was ill with fever, and just 
as the first rays of consciousness returned, the news of the surrender of 
Gen. Lee at Appomattox was received. When well enough to travel he 
left for home, and reached there on the night President Lincoln was 
assassinated— April 14. 

Notwithstanding the inroads of disease, contracted during the war, 
Mr. Coon spent an active business life in the West, where he lived after 
his marriage. He was an indefatigable worker in the interest of the G. 
A. R., and in 1886, and 1887, acted as aide-de-camp on the staff of Gen. 
Lucius Fairchild, by appointment. In 1890, he was elected Junior Vice- 
Commander of the Department of Wisconsin. At the time of his death 
he was Assistant Inspector under National Commander Weissert of the 
G. A. R. He had taken the thirty-second degree F. and A. M. and was 
prominent in Masonry in his home, Merrill, Wis., where he was buried. 
Mar. 1, 1893, amid many demonstrations of affection and respect.

The Hon. P. B. Champagne was born in St. Felix de Valois, Joilette 
Co., Quebec, Dec. 8, 1845. He emigrated to the States in 1863, and en- 
tered the lumber business at Grand Rapids. In 1868 he removed to 
Wausau, Wis., where he lived until 1880, when he located at Merrill, 
Wis., organizing the P. B. Champagne Lumber Co., of which he was 
President and Manager. Beside his extensive logging and lumbering 
interests, he was actively engaged in many other enterprises. In politi- 
cal as well as business life, he was successful, being honored time and 
again with such offices as he would accept. In 1882 he was elected to the 
assembly from his district, and served in that body with distinguished 
ability. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, was a member of Vir- 
ginia Falls Lodge, No. 226, in Merrill, Wausau Chapter, No. 51, St. 
Omer Commandery, No. 19, and the Wisconsin Consistory. 

He died July 1, 1891, in Merrill, and by his death the community 
lost one of its most honored members, the city one of its most successful 
business men, and his family a kind, loving and indulgent father. His 
death caused universal sorrow.

Charles Dana Wilber was an indefatigable student. He took two 
years in Hiram College and two years at Williams. After graduation at 
the latter College, he taught school in Illinois two years. He was Sec- 
retary of the Natural History Society in that State from 1858-65. Dur- 
ing that time he helped organize the State Normal School and the State

Museum at Normal, 111., and jmblished maps and charts showing the re- 
sources of the State. He became well known as an expert in mining, 
and was in demand as an inspector of mineral lands. In early youth he 
became a ci-ipple from the effects of a fever, but lie bravely followed his 
chosen work, until he was removed by heart failure. He had in un- 
finished Mss., valuable information which, had not his health failed, 
he intended to publish. 

On his return voyage from Europe in 1886, his steamer encountered 
fourteen days of raging storm, and to use his own expression, "seven 
days of straight cyclone." The paralyzing effect of rapid succession of 
deathly shocks during those seven wild, withering days, brought into 
activity the latent, lingering disease, from which he subsequently died. 
The sparkle and brilliancy for which he had been noted through life, did 
not forsake him in his last hours. When conscious, his cheerful conver- 
sation and quaint sayings, or " Wilberisms," as they were termed, gave 
his sick-room more the tone and appeai-ance of a cordial and friendly re- 
ception room, than that of a death chamber. He was a ripe scholar. He 
ranks among the leading Scientists. Manifold has been the world's 
profit from his being in it. He was boimtiful in life, and brave in death. 
Following is an extract from a letter written in 1883, in response to a re- 
quest for family data, for this book : 

"Your letter waited some time,— until my return from the Rocky 
Mountains, to which I am bound by so many affinities that every year I 
must go and see them. Though it was hot in the valley, I was near a 
huge snowbank at Georgetown, Col., ten miles long, two miles wide, and 
six hundred feet deep. I thought of the poor sweltering sinners away 
down below, like Dives, longing for something to cool their parched 
tongues. 

I send you the Record from father's family Bible, of our group, 
most of whom grew up in your sight, in the old Auburn woods. Six 
survive, — father and mother rest in Lakeside Cemetery, Aurora, Ills., 
where by loving hands their graves are decked with vines and roses, and 
we have a memory of them far riclicr tlian any inheritance of Gold. How 
true and honest was every day of their powerful lives! 

"I have looked up our branch of the English tree, as far as ])ossi- 
ble,— the Wilbers, Wilbors, Wilburs, Wilbours, Welbores, Woolbers, are 
all the same, -also the Wilberforce tribe are of the same stock. These 
tribes or families lived in Devonshire, coming thither from Saxony, after 
William the Conqueror. Those who lived on the uplands were Wilbers. 



152 THE BOWLER GENEALOGY. 

The lowland Wilbers who dug ditches or "fosses" to drain their farms, 
were known as Wilberfoss, and later as Wilberforee. I have always de- 
sired this "force" termination to my name, but it was denied me,— my 
ancestors were highlanders of Devon. 

I find in looking over grandfather Pardon Wilber's old records, 
that he did not move to Ohio direct from Schoharie, but went first to On- 
tario, N. Y. So, too, with the Smith boys,— I mean my grandfather 
Smith and his brothers, who, with their father and mother, dared to "go 
West" from Hartford, Conn., into the wilderness, "vast and howling," 
of Old Berkshire, before coming to Ohio. As far as I can learn, we have 
all been going West for homes and "shekels," whether we get them or 
not! 

At Ontario, they made up the migrating colony that came to Old 
Auburn, O., not far from 1818. Most of the South Geauga crowd were 
from that region of New York State. I could never care much where 
some of that old Auburn driftwood did come from, but I had clear con- 
victions where it was going! But as the leaders in religion, such as 
Bishop Stanley, Canon Farrar, Beecher, etc., have abolished Tophet, I 
have wholly lost my reckoning,— however, as the coon said to the beaver, 
"we shall all meet at the hatters," so, I hope, we shall all be gathered in 
where we can be the most useful. 

So much for the Wilbers,— now for the Bowlers,— who was the orig- 
inal Bowler, anyway? Was he a pirate, like most of the ancestral 
Smiths? Or was he a mild gentleman of the old school, of the grand- 
father Wilber sort? 

What a big time we shall have at the final round up on the day of 
resurrection, running about to find our ultimate paternals ! I intend to 
avoid scores of mine, on general principles, biit I want to see the entire 
crowd of Bowlers, if there is room enough in any one place to hold them 
all. 

To such of them as gather around your hearth, from me and mine, 
our love. Your Cousin, 

Charles Dana Wilber."

He was a home loving man, and there found his greatest enjoyment. 
He was serving his third term as justice of the i^oace and his record in 
that office was like his whole life ; he always counselled peace. He ex- 
emplified Bryant's beautiful words: "So live, that when thy summons 
comes to join the innumerable throng, — thou go not, like the galley slave 
at night scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by an un- 
faltering trust, approach thy grave, like one who draws the drapery of 
his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams, ' '

mington, 111., d. Feb. 8, 1901, in Aurora, 111. 

She was a beautiful, queenly woman, with rare attractions of mind 
and heart, beloved by her friends and adored by her family. The fol- 
lowing extract from a letter after the death of her brother, gives 
a slight glimpse into her mentality : "My mission to Ohio this time was 
a very sad one, yet I brought home with me many pleasant memories,— 
I was glad to be with my dear brother in his last hours,— to go down into 
the "valley and the shadow of death" with him,— he passed so peace- 
fully, even cheerfully, into the life beyond — . 

I shall always love Ohio— I love the everlasting hills— the dear asso- 
ciations that linger around my careless, happy childliood— ray good 
father and mother, with the home full of happy, healthful, handsome 
brothers and sisters,—now— awaiting me on the other side—."

Henry P. Wilber was one of Peoria's oldest and most respected citi- 
zens, a man of sterling worth and qualitiep. He came to Peoria in the 
early 50 's from Cliardon, 0., and was for some years in the diy-goods 
business, which he finally left to identify himself with A. J. Hodges & 
Co., of Pekin, Til., in the manufacture of headers. Success in business 
always attended Mr. Wilber 's efforts, and in 1890, after a most prosjjer- 
ous career, the firm sold their jilant, and from it grew the Acme Har- 
vester Company of today. Mr. Wilber was a staunch Universalist, and 
active to the last in the affairs of the Church.

Marcus Morton (3rd) is an Attorney-at-Law in Boston. 

It is this Marcus Morton to whom the "Hoppin Register" was left 
in trust (see Lloyd Hoiijiin, 180), he being the first son by the mar- 
riage of a descendant of Alice (Southworth) Bradford, and a descend- 
ant of George Morton, both of whom came over in the "Ann," July, 
1623. If the time should ever come when there is no direct heir in this 
line, the book is to go to the Rhode Island Historical Society, never 
again to leave its roof. Tlirough the interested co-operation of Mr. 
and Mrs. Morton, photographs and much of historical value, contained 
in the "Hoppin Register," and not otherwise obtainable, have been 
made possible for this book.

She was graduated from the "Buffalo Academy" in 1882, after 
which she spent a year or two in travel, during which time she met Mr. 
Pickering in the West. Her wedding was very simple, amid the quaint 
surroundings of the old family homestead, only the near kinsfolk being 
present, owing to the recent death of the groom's father. The cere- 
mony was performed by Rev. A. G. Palmer, of Stonington, Conn., an 
old family friend, assisted by Rev. B. D. Hahn, of Westerly. The bride 
and groom stood in an arbor of ferns, from the overhanging arch of 
which was suspended a floral bell. This green bower was carpeted with 
a beautiful antique rug, the gift of the bride's godmother, Mrs. James 
McCredie, of Butfalo. The bi ide wore a simple gown of white mull and 
moire, her flowers being La France buds and lilies of the valley. The 
mantels and tables of the dear old home where she has spent all her 
summer vacations were gay and fragrant with the sweetness of June's 
blossoms, massed in profusion. 

At the wedding breakfast, the guests' places were indicated by 
delicate hand-painted ribbons, the work of the bride, each showing a 
different design. 

They spent the summer abroad, returning in the fall to Boston, 
where they have since resided. 

From a child, the ambition of their elder son. Nelson Winslow, was 
for a naval career, possibly the spirit of the naval heroes whose names 
he bore, entered his soul ; at all events his training was all toward that 
end, and in 1904 he passed his examinations with credit, and received 
his appointment to Annapolis.

ANCESTRY OF CHARLES HENRY DABNEY. 

The original name of the family was d'Aubigne, and it is believed 
by some of the descendants that the Chevalier d'Aubigne was their 
ancestor, and by some that they are descended from the celebrated 
Madame de Maintenon. As this is not susceptible of proof, it must be 
considered as tradition. All the Dabneys in America come from three 
brothers named d'Aubigne, who were French Huguenots, and who fled 
from France to England and thence to America at the time of the Revo- 
cation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685. Robert and Elizabeth d'Aubigne 
came to Boston previous to 1717, and must have changed their name to 
Dabney very soon after coming, as in that year Robert appears in Court 
Records in a suit, and his name is there spelled "Daubiney alias 
Dabney." Their son

Mary Gardner, Boston, Dec. l.S, 1739. Their son

Copied from the recollections of Amos Franklin Fay (97), written 
for his children: — My mother's proficiencj^ and great industry was no 
doubt a very great help in lifting my father out of financial trouble. 
Wlien I look back and tliink of what she used to accomplish, it seems 
almost incredible— if she had help, she worked with them and saw that 
their work was riglitly done— if she had none, in some way her work was 
always done and done well and deliberately,— no fuss nor hurry, but 
eveiy step counted, — and she was always cheerful and ready for a 
mischievous joke. She was just a little bit caustic, and had a peculiar 
faculty for making a joke sting sharply if slie chose to do so. 

She was the "nurse" for the neighborhood — seldom spent even an 
hour in neighborhood visits or gossip, but if anyone was sick, "Aunt 
Polly" would be sent for— often before tlie doctor was called. Her 
cheerful wit, iiromiit and experienced way of handling the sick one, was 
often worth a dozen doctors. 

She always had a laudable pride and much taste in dress, and always 
kept herself well supplied with quite plain, but rich and good, wearing 
apiiarel. though she seldom wore it except to church, or on an occasional 
visit to some special friend. 

To give you some idea of the work she and father used to accomplish, 
we will begin with the first of Sejitember. Tn one point father was 
different from all his neighbors— he never allowed the "women folk" 



244 ADDENDA. 

to help with the milking or taking care of stock,— the hired men and we 
boys had to do that. He helped, of course. He did not say " go, " it was 
always "come, boys," let's do this or that. While we were doing the 
morning "chores," mother was getting breakfast. Her fires were 
alwaj's made for her by some of us, and father saw that plenty of the best 
seasoned wood was on hand. Father was a good provider. After 
breakfast the milk was set for the churns, and the cheese made ready to 
put in the press,— this would take one or two hours,— next, cleaning i;p 
and preparing for dinner, then perhaps a half hour's rest, but often 
instead, it would be an hour or so at the loom, weaving the flannels for 
winter, which would be continued after dinner. September evenings 
little work was required, but later the young people cured fruit, while 
mother overlooked it. The last of September, October and November, 
there was the butter to care for, beside weaving, coloring and bleaching 
the linens and flannels. About Thanksgiving, the men's clothes had to 
be cut and made,— this, too, was done in the house. Sometimes we 
could get a tailoress, but mother and her "help" had to do most of it. 

In December came curing the meat,— trying out the lard and tallow, 
making the sausages, etc., then came the long winter evenings, when the 
hum of mother's "little wheel" was almost ceaseless, but it did not 
interfere with her part of the conversation,— we nearly always had more 
or less company, visitors, or some of the neighbors dropping in. The 
school-master would find some excuse to spend about two-thirds of the 
winter with us. 

In the spring again came the routine of the dairy,— the lambs and 
the chickens,— the maple sugar to be cared for,— and the little spinning 
wheel filled up any time to spare. In June, after sheep-shearing, and 
the "rolls" had come in from the carding machine, came the "big 
wheels," but mother seldom took hold of these,— used to say she had too 
much else to look after, and could not keep her hand in. With all this 
going on, and the harvest and haying help to feed, there was not much 
time for summer "excursions," but to make up for that, we had an 
occasional chance to go on a strawberry or blackberry picking, and with 
this came the fruit preserving, curing herbs for the family and for all 
the township beside, making salves and ointments, mending, making, 
washing, ironing, baking and what not,— all had to be done and looked 
after, and it was done and well done, too. 

The primitive ways of doing work should be taken into account, too. 
Up to about 1830 there were no cook stoves,— most of the cooking was 



ADDENDA. 24.'5 

done before a wood fire in the livins: room. Fatlior liad a nice brick oven 
alongside of the tirei)lace, and good bread was baked for a week's sup- 
ply, and baking and washing days came as regularly as Monday and 
Tuesday,— or Sunday. Father was brought up in the old school of 
strictly kee^nng Sunday, but he was not fanatical about it,— what he 
thought was necessary work was done in a quiet and orderly manner,— 
we were allowed to have no boisterous play on Sunday. After we were 
all washed up and our clothes changed, we boys were allowed to take a 
walk witii him to the farthest i)asture when he went to count and give 
salt to the sheep and lambs. If there was preaching in the neighborhood, 
we all went if we chose. Father and mother took very little time them- 
selves for visiting, but they entertained a great deal of company. Their 
house was the stopping place for the itinerant ministers of all denomina- 
tions, and they were generally worthy men, and welcome. Many were 
talented, but were often illiterate. At the time of which I am writing, 
(my boyhood days at home) the Free Will Baptist was the leading sect 
in the country about us. Father at one time was a member of this 
church, but withdrew because he did not agree with their theology. 
Mother kept her connection with the Free Will Baptists all her life. 
Father's religion was the Golden Rule, and he lived it, if any one ever 
did. He considered it his duty to labor faithfully, and to i)rovide for 
his fanaily and friends, and all were his friends. Father had veiy 
little ambition for public office, which he w-as often urged to take. After 
the war of 1812, he was in the way of military ])romotion, and held the 
Commission of Lieut. Col., but he found it took so much time and 
expense that he resigned. He served several terms as Justice of the 
Peace. 



One of Cincinnati's best families was represented in the marriage 
last week of Mr. Robert Bonner Bowler (567), the son of the late Robert 
Bowler, to Miss Charlotte Everett Miller, the daughter of Cai)tain and 
Mrs. Jacob Miller, of IVIorristown, New Jersey. The ceremony was 
perfonned by the Mt. Rev. David H. Greer, at St. Peter's Church. The 
Millers and Bowlers have nearby cottages at Bar Harbor and the mar- 
riage is one of the results of long years of friendshi]). Mr. Bowler went 
on to New York a month ago to greet his bride-to-be, who was returning 
from an European trip. The Bowler home is one of the handsomest in 
Cincinnati. It is situated at the end of La Fayette Avenue, in Clifton,

the driveway extending almost a mile from the house. It was here that 
the Prince of Wales was entertained on his visit to the United States, 
and in the center of the heautiful Bowler lawn there still stands to-day 
the handsome stone pavilion which was built for the Prince to stand 
upon when he addressed the people.— Tow« and Country, July 8, 1905,

Salem, Ohio, May 14, 1845. His first educational training was at the 
countiy school, but his ambition did not rest with the teachings he 
received there and he entered the Allegheny University at Meadville, Pa. 
He was graduated from that institution in 1871, and soon after was ad- 
mitted to the bar at Lew Lisbon, near Salem, which was then the county 
seat of Columbiana county. In October of the same year he came to 
Toledo and opened a law office in the old Anderson block. In 1875 his 
office was removed to the Produce Exchange building, he being the first 
tenant of the old Produce Exchange, and, since that date he has never 
moved, his office being in Room 43 Produce Exchange at the time of his 
death. 

Coming to Toledo with practically no experience in his legal profes- 
sion, he diligently devoted himself to the task of building up a practice. 
His knowledge and close attention to all business matters soon won for 
him the respect and honor which rightfully belonged to him. His prac- 
tice gi-ew and with it came his success. He turned his attention to cor- 
poration affairs, and in 1887 he was appointed attorney for the Pennsyl- 
vania Eailroad company, and that position was his until death relieved 
him. 

During the fifty-six years of life of the deceased there was always 
that about the man which commended him to his fellowmen. Especially 
during the past thirty years, when he resided in Toledo, was he foremost 
in public affairs and ever anxious to make the most of life. 

His attention to his clients resulted in his building up one of the best 
law practices in the city. His attention was also directed to mercantile 
affairs, and he was interested in the establishment of many of the city's 
most prosperous industries. At the time of his death he was a director 
of the National Bank of Commerce, the Toledo Machine and Tool com- 
pany, the Toledo Metal Wheel company, the Harris Toy company, and

others, besides being tlie le,c:al adviser of these oonoems. He was a con- 
scientious member of St. Paul's M. E. church, and for thirty years con- 
ducted a Bible class. He took much interest in religious affairs. 

He took great pleasure in the fraternities of his college and was in full 
membership of the Phi Beta Kappa and the Phi Kappa Psi. He was 
initiated into the former about two years ago while paying a visit to the 
college, and the honor thus bestowed upon him was greatly appreciated.
